How to protect pecan trees from deer
It has been reported that the population of deer in the United States has been growing for the past 3 decades. For this reason, farmers that grow commercial trees like pecan tree are finding it harder by the day to keep their real estate safe from deer.
Deer depend on not just leaves and fruits for their nutritional needs, but also bark of trees, hence their penchant for pecan trees. Deer, particularly the male deer, are in the habit of rubbing their antler on the trunks of trees. They do this to mark their territory, and to keep intruders out. While big trees like oak can stand this rubbing trees, small trees like pecan can’t, hence the need to keep them safe.
There are several techniques for deer-proofing a yard or farm filled with pecan trees. However, some of these techniques may not work in places where the population of deer is dense, or during times of severe food scarcity. As such, combining these tactics instead of using them on standalone basis would be a safer bet.
