Tree Spud
5 year old buck +
The first trees i planted are all starting to grow enough trunk diameter that I may have to do new mouse guards. I came up with a new approach that hopefully will be a better solution.
I have taken 1/4 mesh which is 24" tall and cut into 24' long section. I think tightly roll to create a spiral. I then thread around the tree. The goal is that as the tree grows, the tree will expand and keep the guard against the trunk. The guard should be large enough that it will accommodate up to a 10" 12" diameter trunk.
As it is easy to remove, should make cutting back shoots & suckers easier also.
