[QUOTE="ClinchValley, post: 1512154, member: 24719"] Appreciate the replies everyone. The smallest of these trees measures 9 inches at the base. Largest measures just shy of 2 feet. I have seen her chew on a tree just a few times, and always scolded her good. So she doesn't do it in front of me or my fiancé. We never see her do it. Just see the damage done. I am afraid she is going to kill my 50' tall maple most of all. and a 30' tall and 25' wide katawba(sp?) tree that i really like to watch grow. I may try the hardware cloth or something like it. Just thought about using chicken wire wrapped around the base, up to around 5' up the trunk. I think i have a game plan. How about something to coat the area missing bark? Something to act as the bark, as far as retaining moisture and keeping heat off the important layers. My uncle paints all his fruit trees white from about 3' to the ground. Wondering if this would help me at all. Not sure of the exact logic in painting trunks white. [/QUOTE]
