Shortly after I planted my fruit trees, I noticed that the deer had stripped the leaves clean off of one of my apple trees. I wasn't very happy about that. I started to make cages to put around the trees, but I wasn't too happy about that either. I went to the Garden Co-op, and they sold a product to me called Liquid Fence. It should be called Liquid Stench, but I digress. The point is, it works! I wonder if it is the same as the homemade rotten egg stuff I've read about? I may try that next year. Anyway, I spray it on the foliage once a week unless it rains heavily. The deer have not bothered the trees since. They still come in the yard and I have watched them grazing on the weeds in the backyard, but they have left my trees alone! The tree that they did eat has new growth so all is forgiven.
