Keep as much bark on as you wrap the trees. Then we put a guard around the trees to stop the squirrels from crawling up. It’s gotta be high because they are jumpers. Then we bought some "cones of shame” and wrapped it around the top so if they do climb up it would provide another barrier (hopefully.) To go along with all this, the sparkly, jingly owls, a sparkly pinwheels and I’m about to add metallic forks to the ground as the first line of defense.</div><div>Whew! The tree may be too damaged but fingers crossed.

We had an arborist out last week to look at our maples.. two are badly damaged.. squirrels. He recommended Repel All.. ordered and spray daily. It sticks to high heaven! Also ordered some pods today to hang in the trees.. on Amazon. The arborist was not very hopeful but said to give it a try. I love the Maples!
