I have a 4 ft roll of chicken wire, how far away from the trunk does it have to be around the tree and more importantly will it even work. I spent too much on these Silver Maples to let the deer kill them now. Any thoughts?
There's no more leaves on the trees and the lowest branches are 5 ft high.http://www.firehousepantrystore.com/lbbhut.html
ID bet the deer would avoid those trees like the plague if you dust the leaves with dried ghost pepper powder
