It’s not the deer you need to protect the trees from...

Even our precious Bradgate Park cannot escape poor tree surgery...[emoji34][emoji30] what were they thinking?! Not thinking at all, me thinks

Round my way it is the grey squirrels are the problem.  I have been helping (in the sense I let them store materials in my yard) the Woodland Trust plant trees in south east Wales - 54000 of them.  Their head guy   In the area told me squirrels will see to most of them.  They are protected by 1.8m tree guards but nothing will save them from the greys.

I disagree; .177, .22 and .25 would all do the trick.
