Baby trees destroyed!




Our two little trees that we planted last summer in our drive- strip are destroyed. 

Someone destroyed them!  Hacked them down! It's happened twice since September.  

I can't believe someone is going around vandalizing my trees. 

It seems no neighbor's trees are hurt, just my baby trees.  

Wayne and I are nice people.... we don't get it?...who doesn't like us?  

I was so bummed about my tree, and I lost faith in humanity.  Why are people so mean?

We contacted our neighbors to be on the lookout for someone who is attacking our trees!  

Well, come to find out. It was not a person at all. It was DEER! We expected deer living on the bench in Bountiful, but we live in the flat lands of Layton-- but close to Kays Creek and fields, and it's, evidently, a deer alleyway. Deer who are trying to shed their velvet-- LOVE small, young trees with thin, pliable bark to rub against.  It's called a buck rub. We will try again with new plants this spring.
