The ol' double loop of 2' tall chicken wire works for me. Not as pretty, but effective (and cheaper!). Doesn't do much for voles and mice, though.

the only thing that pisses me off more.. is when they spit it out .. but no!!!!! .. not stop with one untasty bite...

but continue to girdle the plant.. and spit it all out ...

thats just downright insanity ...

at least yours appears to have eaten whatever it took ...

found a half dead rabbit ont e driveway last week ... no sign of slobber.. so i ruled our coyote/dingos ... and suspect a failed hawk attack .. due to the throat slash ...

I am sorry that got me to laughing out loud, Ken. The very same thoughts have occurred to me many times. Two springs ago, I had started numerous Montauk Daisy to plant in those beds where nothing else does well, and a few weeks later there were a dozen or two of them, severed at the soil line and laying on their side with some gnawed stem. Ditto mass plantings of spreading petunias. Puts me in mind of the sign over the line at Mess Halls. Take ALL YOU WANT............but eat all you take. At least the devastation serves some purpose. Sorry about your Dawn redwood. Shame, but YOU KNOW BETTER. ;-)

They seem to go after my pricey cutlivars too! I do know better, still not sure how I missed it!
