Years ago we used dear fencing with two strands of electric. One strand about waist-high and the other strand near the ground. Perhaps we had a third strand up high, but I cannot remember. It was effective at keeping the deer out. But one year we had issue with groundhogs figuring out how to scamper under the lower wire. And the groundhogs were willing to eat just about anything in the garden...we eventually got rid of that problem, but it was challenging.
This is a good video, we've gotten it to work as well by having two 5ft fences 1st as an outer barrier and then the next close to the trees so the deer can't jump in. I just got some of the ultrasonic motion sensor solar powered pest deterrents, has anyone tried these before?
What about a fence cone wide enough at the bottom that they can't stretch their necks to the tree, and unlikely to step into the fencing with their feet to get closer? The exploited feature of deer is they fear for their legs. If they bump up against something invisible like a horizontal wire 3 foot off the ground, and it's black not silver, they can't see it to judge the threat, and can't estimate how deep it goes or how far around. Prey animals are unlikely to put their main defenses for flight at risk just for a few leaves. No posts for established saplings. Run a wire thru the first sturdy branch division V to raise the center of the cone and let the tree take the cone upwards with it.

We have not had any groundhogs yet, and hopefully we will not. I just had a squirrel eating eating some of our cabbage in the last week or so.
Excelente video hermano.... Me gusta que es la verda con la serca de 8 o 10 pies👍
Hi Chad and Fadia, Thank you so much for your youtube videos. How far apart should plant the apple trees.
6 to 8 feet for dwarf apple trees, semi-dwarf trees around 15 feet, and standard or full-sized trees about 25 feet.

How wide are your cages & how many feet of wire to make each cage?
