What should I do to keep the deer and other animals from eating my newly planted apple trees. The trees are only about 4' and very small. We live in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan and on a ravine that gets quite alot of deer traffic. I saw some plastic mesh at the store that the guy said keeps deer away.. ...a "deer repelling mesh that you drape over the tree." Or, should I put a fence around the tree? How high and what diameter do you suggest. How big does the tree have to be before I don't need to worry? Many thanks, Joy
