Hello & thanks in advance for the suggestions.

The wife and I have been planning to plant some fruit trees (apple, plum, pear, and whatever else will grow) in the area directly behind our house.

We have the joy of having a few dear on the property. They aren't usually much of a problem for us, except when my wife decided to grow corn. I am worried that they will look at our little furit trees the way as convienient tasty morsels. I'd hate to have to fence in an acre or so.

Does any body have any suggestions or advice? Should I be concerned? What works?
