I have a peach!!!

  

Totally is my plan!

After rabbit damage this past winter this is my plan~  I just saw this on Facebook…  thank you Chris Rice, whoever you are!

Your newly planted tree is a food source for rabbits. Rabbits can severely damage trees by girdling the trunks or major branches or by completely severing the growing points of terminal leaders on small trees.

To protect your newly planted trees from rabbits make a cylinder out of rabbit wire and attach it to a stake with wire. Place landscape fabric around your tree and then pound the stake into the ground to support the rabbit wire. push the rabbit wire 2 inches into the soil to give it more support and to prevent rabbits from going underneath. Put some wood chip mulch on the landscape cloth around the tree. Leave protection in place for several years.

You have to provide protection for newly planted trees because we are not just feeding rabbits!

Plant markers

I love my plant markers…  they will, of course, be fancier next year but that darn cheap fence that’s been laying around the yard has provided me with an abundance of these….  no more begging the gal at Menards for just a few more paint stirrers!

   

omg…they are going to live!

 

The rabbits and voles didn’t kill them!!! 

…the PLUM tree….

…and the BUTTERNUT tree!!

A baby OAK tree!

 

Must have been planted by a squirrel!  It’s right in the middle of the path where we walk!
