DEER... from page 24.

Applying any type of prune seal or tar is not recommended. Although this will deter further pest activity to the wound, it is scientifically proven to slow the natural healing and the tree’s ability to compartmentalize the damaged area. Every deciduous tree planted should be planted with deer protection. Even if a community doesn’t see many deer, these animals frequently perform this type of work in the wee hours of the night. In conclusion, the damage deer can cause to trees is a significant concern for community associations. Simply implementing the use of deer trunk protection can help preserve the beauty and vitality of an associ ation’s shared spaces. In this way, communities can coexist harmoniously with these magnificent creatures while safeguarding their cherished trees. n
