Hi-

I'm hoping that you can help, either directly or otherwise.

I've got a problem with my Thunderchild. A rabbit ate the bark around the complete caliper about 10" high.....approximately
a foot above grade....15 days ago. Since then, I have installed metal lath, 3' high around the tree...loosely fit to lower as the snow melts. At least no more damage can be done. I've lived at this location for 5 years and this is the first time that this has happened....tough winter.

The caliper is 2.75" and I planted this tree 2 years ago and it looks good with selective pruning.

This is classified as Zone 3A.

What can I do ? I hope there's some way to save this beautiful young tree.

Or, perhaps you can refer me to someone who can help.

Thanking you in advance,
