Would you believe I'm 10 min. outside the state capital and I have deers, foxes, BEARS, moose, etc.!!! Need to find out how to save my plants. The deers the first year we were here and we had the snowfall from H*** (broke actual records), ate my arborvities!! When spring came there was 2 ft of bushy shrub at the bottom, then 4ft of eat bushes right to the stems, then it bushed out again and went to a peek! They looked like half eaten corn on the cobs!!! Starting to grow back!! Poor things!!
