How to keep deer from eating your trees. Several years ago I planted two young apple trees (McIntosh and Honeycrisp). Living in ‘deer country’ I took a few precautions to deter them from eating the green shoots and damaging or destroying my efforts.

By the way, planting fruit bearing trees is an excellent proactive action for preparedness sake!

Here’s what I did, and lets hear your own recommendations too about keeping deer from eating your trees:

Making Venison kabobs on the grill using the apple tree eating offenders works too. The kabobs have a faint apple taste.

We had a problem with them eating my wife's hastas plants, first we tried a spray we found at Home Depot called Deer Away with didn't work and then we heard about the Irish Spring and that worked.

Take the deer out with a crossbow, and then you will plenty of vittles, that taste like apples. Kill em and grill em.

I suppose that a crossbow inside of city limits, would be unheard and unnoticed. Unless some nosy Nellie witnesses the murder of Bambi. After that, it would go downhill.
