It also gives fruit tree pruning timing and mouse damage prevention for home orchards.
Protect Young Fruit Trees With Trunk Wrapping Or Repellent
A guide advises a six inch deep collar and two feet diameter around young trees. Place six inches of gravel to deter grass and mice near trunks. Rabbits nibble bark in winter, so wrap trunks and lower limbs with burlap or water resistant paper or apply a repellent containing Thiram or ZAC. Remove wrapping in late spring.
