Really?!! Your last name wouldn't happen to Addams, would it?! LOL! I mean, sure, the flowers are kinda pretty, but otherwise,...geeeeez! :)

I don't know anything about them but have a look at the Missouri Seedling Nursery for Comparison; prices a bit different. Dax Here is a link that might be useful: Missouri Seedlings Quantities of 10, 25, etc-

Gardentina, do you have any pictures that you could post?

That sounds like deer. Yes, living in the Juniper / whats-left-of-the-Pinion forest, gardeners soon change their opinions of those cute, large eared forest creatures; after a while when you watch "Bambi" with your kids, you start rooting for the forest fire. They eat Scots pines as well as Austrian Pines, and fruit tree bark and twigs are candy. The only thing that works is to fence them off. There are two theories here, fence off each tree, or fence off the whole place. And at the end of the day, it may well cost about the same. For individual trees, one of the easier ways to do this is buy rolls of "Horse fence", which is a fairly ridged 2" by 4" mesh, 5 feet high, and make a large dia circle around each tree. For the fruit trees, about 6 ft dia, and for the pine trees, you'd need 8 to 10 feet dia. Anything smaller on the fruit trees, the deer will eat the branches off when they get bigger. For the pine trees, my neighbor did his half mile hedge with 6' dia horse fence around his Austrian Pines. when they were 12 years old and 20 feet high, the fence was stunting their growth, and he took it off. The deer killed every single one that winter. I had them eat everything that protruded outside the fence, and I used field fence, with larger openings, and the bucks would hook their horns in it, then strip the tree when they tried to get loose. After 7 years, I ended up fencing my whole 3 acres, 7 feet high. I now have 20 odd fruit trees that are thriving, and my pine trees grew twice as fast without the browsing. A single serious browsing on a fruit tree will set them back a year. For yours, I'd leave the ones that were chomped on, but I'd also get some replacements, just in case. Hang in there. Home grown fruit is so much better that its worth all the effort.
