<pre>Andy,

I had the same problem with my trees.

It does slow them down a bit but none of them have died as a result.

I covered all my trees with a plastic mesh "sock".

It comes in a roll so you just cut off the length that you need for
each tree, expand it out and then slip it over the tree. In my case
I put it over the young tree and then down over the pastic tree guard
that was already in place. It expands out to a diameter of about 200
mm and is self supporting so it just stands up stiff by itself, or
supported by the foliage of the tree.

It worked very well for me. The trees are now actually getting
bigger and as they grow the foliage simply grows through the
netting. For some reason the foliage sticking through the netting
does't seem to be nibbled either. Don't know why.

Cheers,


Steven Chaffer
