The plastic pot is a good tip. Also 1/4 or 3/8 wire mesh is sometimes used. I just lost two small apple trees with 3 grafts each so I lost 6 apple varieties to pine voles. They are like mini beavers. They haven’t been a problem in a long time but with all the rain this year the ground is soft and there is plenty for them to eat. I’m going to set up some pvc bait stations. Not sure what the best poison bate is. Also will try some traps. I think @alan uses traps with peanut butter. Also new planting will need a physical barrier.
