How big is everyone making their tree cages for hardwoods? I did a search on the forum and found information for conifer cages, but didn't see any info for hardwood. I'm mostly looking for protection from deer rubbing and browsing off the tops of the tree. If they nip off the edges of the branches, I'm not that concerned as long as the leader is ok. It seems to me that a 2' diameter cage would be plenty, but I thought it would be worth tapping into the knowledge base rather than wishing I would have. For inquiring minds, my fence material is 5' welded wire fence and the trees will be roughly 2' bareroot saplings. Thanks in advance.
I will also be using some tree tubes on other trees to see what method I like better. Either way, they need to be protected or the deer hammer them.
