Question
Grant,

How well would an electric fence work with tree seedlings?

Randy,

I’ve never used the an electric fence to protect seedlings, but it has been used to protect orchards, vegetable crops, etc.  The fence simply is a barrier.  If installed and maintained properly it works very well to exclude deer.  I don’t believe the type of forage inside the fence matters.  I’ve found the company reps to be very helpful.
