Planted some bows?

Chippintuff:
Around here young osage trees need a lot of protection from deer. I had one about ten feet tall and found one day that a buck had rubbed the bark off all the way around. I cut it off at the bare part and put a "cage" of steel T-posts around it for protection. It grew a little for two years, then died. This year it has put out a lot of suckers from the ground. The deer can eat the young leaves in spite of those big sharp thorns. Put protection around them now, or you will have nothing by fall.

Bj, how long you reckon it’ll be before you can harvest from those little guys?

mullet:
Those look real good, Brian. I planted two in my front yard about 15 years ago and are about 8-10' tall, now. And I bet they are the only osage in Florida.
