This morning I did my usual tree inspection and found something had attacked our Brazilian Raintree sometime in the last 24 hrs. From the looks of it, I'd say it was probably a squirrel. Whatever it was had even pulled out some of the wire securing the roots! This particular tree has had some bark stripped before, but thankfully has mostly been left alone since last summer. I'm moving it behind some chicken wire, so hopefully that'll be enough to keep it away from the destructive creature(s).
Any ideas for keeping pests away from trees? I usually steer clear of fertilizers likely to attract pests (esp. with fish emulsion), but I don't know what else I can do to avoid damage.
