DO YOU HAVE WHITE TAIL DEER PROBLEMS?
Trees and shrubs suffer in two ways from deer. Antler rubbing goes from late August until mid January. Feeding (eating) can occur at any time of year but seems especially bad from mid December until the first of May on many plants including White Pine.
A zero cost method that I have seen reduce damage to zero is as follows:
Take thin plastic grocery or supermarket carry out bags, cut vertically in half so they don't fill with rainwater, tying a half bag to each tree you wish to protect.

PLANTING TIPS FOR YOUR NEW TREE ...
Based on 70 years working with woody landscape plants here in the HEAVY CLAY SOILS found in the Greater Cincinnati area I offer the following suggestions on planting your balled and burlapped trees.
1) It is best to purchase and plant your trees in autumn or spring. Place your tree in a cool, shady place and cover the rootball with mulch if you cannot plant the tree for a few days. Be sure to keep the roots moist until planting time.
