Thuja Green Giant. Help to recover from deer attack..

5 years ago

Hello everyone,


We planted 30+ Thuja Green Giant trees from Costco 3-5ft tall each this April. We want to form a barrier from the driveway on the side of the house. We added some fertilizer and been watering them every several days.. They started to grow and everything was fine. As of September some of the trees are 7ft+ already.


Most of the descriptions of Green Giant say that it's resistant to deer.. However, we had a deer attack a few weeks ago, and they ate 3 of our trees. We purchased deer repellent and will be applying it every few months from now on...


The look of those trees just breaks our hearts.. Is there anything that can be done to save these trees? Will they heal ? Can we somehow trim them without damaging ? Any help is greatly appreciated !


Thank you!
