PREVENTION OF DEER DAMAGE WITH FENCING 



In many areas of Massachusetts growers planting young orchards are faced 

 with a problem of preventing deer damage. Many growers are afraid to prune 

 their young tree because of the follow-up pruning given by deer. The browsed 

 young trees are injured, delayed in coming into bearing and are poorly shaped. 

 However, the states north of us appear to have solved the problem of deer damage 

 in young orchards.
