Rabbits ate the bark off my young trees this winter what can I do to protect them? They are bratford pear, apple and crab apple. Is there something I can put on the trunk?
A ring of chicken wire around the trunk would help. Make it a very loose circle so that it doesn't dig into the bark. Just remember to remove in the spring. Also a piece of PVC corrugated drain tile split down the side and slipped around the trunk will help too. Again it should be removed as soon as practical.
