Milorganite in a plastic bag works well. Refill every 3 months. Lead or
fence is best.

This week I tried some very light weight quarter-inch open mesh
plastic net bags that Amazon.com <http://Amazon.com> calls “Yellow net
bags”
or something like that. They don’t catch wind, and might be useful if
they could be bought in larger size that could be
pulled down over the whole tree. Mine are about 10 x 20 inches when
flat. On single one-year-old branches that are making
lateral shoots, they crowd the leaves over each other, limiting
photosynthesis and bending shoot growth. I’ve not found a source
of large bags.

Anyone ever tried or have any idea if Surround (kaolin clay) repels
deer or makes little apple trees less desirable to feed upon?
