RE: Purchasing trees
I've had problems with the deer eating trees in the past also. I tried hanging bars of soap and it worked fine but man it was a lot of labor. 200 trees takes a long time to hang soap. My solution to this situation was to purchase scented liquid soap and put it into my fruit tree sprayer with warm water. About 2oz. soap per 1gal. water. I spray my saplings once in the spring and once in the fall and it seems to work very well.
