It happened in the winter shortly after they were planted. It was definitely deer I am sure of that - also the end of a number of branches were torn/ripped which is deer. We have roe and fallow here and we also have a very active deer policy. I agree this time of year they are interested in other sources of food. My freezer is already full!!

Thanks - will give it a go. Yes, it is 100% deer. I have put some industrial deer guards up around most of my fruit trees but thought these ones were safe. I have used the small spiral tree guards around here but quite often you will find them ripped off the trees by the deer!!

Hello, forgive my ignorance but I have had a 4 ft walnut tree severely damaged by deer. The bark has been completely removed from about half way up the tree resulting in anything above that mark dying. Below this level some shoots are growing. My question is, If I was to cut the main "trunk" of the tree off just below the area where the bark has been removed will this allow the tree to grow back/regenerate or am I just better off replacing the whole tree? Also, I have a few other small trees which have been damaged by the deer to a lesser extent where the bark has been removed in places but not all the way around the trunk. I have noticed that the leaves on these trees are smaller and sparser. Is there a good chance of recovery or will these most likely die? Many thanks,
