[Apple-Crop] Surround and deer?

[lee elliott]

Liquid Fence works good for me but is expensive and needs to be re-applied after rain, dont spray the whole tree but just lower buds they can reach, small hand sprayer can do the job. Lee Elliott Upstart Nursery.

     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
 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?
