######ing Deer! We planted 6 Norway Spruce trees this past summer, and I've noticed that about half of the trees have a bunch of the branches all stripped off in the middle of the trunk. I did some researching and it sounds like it's caused by the deer rubbing their antlers on the branches.
I've called some garden centers, and they recommended buying some Plantskydd, a blood based repellent that will keep the deer away from the trees, since they will smell the blood and think that there is a predator nearby.
My question is, will the branches grow back? It looks like complete crap right now with bare trunk in the middle of the tree. If not, I'm hoping this will be covered under Sunnyside's 1 year warranty.
Stupid ass deer.
