I have a couple apple trees to replace from last year. I had some 2' whips I planted and tubed. Unfortunately, the deer or wind knocked them over and the deer buzzed them almost into the dirt. I used those cheap blue lay flat tubes that you roll into a cylinder. I always show up at the hunting farm and theres a couple that the wind or deer have gotten loose and they're laying flat with the tree obliterated.
I know its a hotly debated topic, but i've also got some caged trees that the deer browse anything close to the edge and they're stunted and won't get up tall enough to GO.
If I do tube again, I need better tubes. What do you tubers use?
Or do I go bigger diameter cages? I don't mind that, but the browse is so hard they'll just get hammered if I can't get them up above the deer's ability to browse.
