The husband and I planted three flowering cherry trees last year.

.
Two of them were eaten and absolutely destroyed by deer over the winter.

This one, planted closer to our house survived… even if it is looking a little spindly.

One out of three.

IT is beautiful. I hope it can hang in there.

We planted 5 maples as well and no one ate those. Cherry bark must be sweet candy to deer…

Aww, darn deer. I love them but man the animals around your house can eat you out of some expensive landscape.

I just had that conversation with a girlfriend. Her gardens are lush and full… and critter free. So much easier, not to mention cheaper.

In my experience, spindly sorts itself out as you get older…

My neighbors planted a peach treebut it looks just like a cherry tree when in bloom.

Here in the D. C. area, every Tom, Dick and Senator Harry has a cherry tree.

I’d send our munching deer down there, but they’re apolitical.

It’s a survivor; hopefully it will start to fill in over time.
