Tree Guards Help Protect New Trees From Deer

As beautiful and graceful as deer might be, they can be a threat to trees that have just been planted. Deer have certain grazing habits that will damage saplings, prevent natural growth, and in some cases might kill the sapling. In areas with large populations of deer, you can protect these young trees using tree guards that are specifically designed to ward off deer. In the following, we will go over deer-proof tree guards, provide the benefits, how to choose the right kind for your needs, and installation tips to help you grow healthy, young trees.

Why You Need Deer-Proof Tree Guards

The tree's growth can be stunted and diseases or insects can develop in weakened trees. If you want healthy, flourishing trees, the first step is getting tree guards.
