    Do you know if an Empress tree is likely to be browsed by deer? Also, a Chitalpa? We are overrun by these pests! I know we will have to protect the trunks because they will use them to take the fuzzies off their antlers but I don't know if I have to protect these trees totally.

    As you are probably already aware, deer will eat nearly anything, or at least damage it.
    Cheers, LPN.

    Use wire enclosures.

    It is deer resistant...not deer proof.
