Yearling... With promise
3 years ago I planted 220 Norway Spruce trees that were 4-5' tall along 1/2 mile of road frontage my property has. I Planted them in an effort to keep spot lighters from seeing into my field because every tresspasser I have caught says the same thing " I saw the buck here while spotlighting and couldn't help myself "
Each year since planting right at Christmas time I lose trees to thieves who saw them off as Christmas trees. I have been racking my brain on how to deter theft. This is a rural area between two very prominent towns. I thought about letting the strip of trees grow up with briers but that would be hard on trees ( I keep them mowed up nice) , I thought of electric barbwire fences. I thought of wrapping trunks with concertina wire. Between vehicles crashing into trees and thefts I've lost 20 trees.I'm hoping someone can give me a foolproof, cheap suggestion because I don't think this problem is going to end. Thanks, Max
