    Question, I planted 14 6' high bushy cedars that all took in the Spring of 2007. Two days ago a bunch of deer moved through my back yard and pruned every one of these cedars right back to the trunks, not a green leaf was left except at the tops of the tallest ones. They now look like a fluffy dog that just got out of a lake. Will these cedars come back or have I just lost $300.00 of trees that will need to be replanted? Or is there anything I can do to save these trees? They are the normal Wal mart variety of three trunks in a 20 gal pot that will grow to about 30' high.
    Thanks, Jim
