Winter can be brutal on young fruit trees—especially when rabbits and rodents start chewing bark at the base. In this video, I show a simple, low-cost way to protect fruit trees during the colder months using chicken wire.

I walk through:

Why rabbits and rodents target fruit trees in winter

How tall the barrier actually needs to be

How close to the trunk you should place it

And how long this method lasts

For this setup, I used a 2 ft x 50 ft roll of chicken wire from Home Depot and cut it into manageable sections that wrap easily around each tree. No fancy tools, no chemicals—just a straightforward solution that works.

This is a great option if you:

Have young or newly planted fruit trees

Garden in areas with heavy rabbit pressure

Want a quick winter protection method that doesn’t break the bank

If you’re focused on protecting what you’ve already planted and setting yourself up for success in spring, this one’s for you.
