Tests of Deer and Rabbit Repellents on Planted Loblolly Pines in Eastern Maryland

Cottontail rabbits and deer sometimes cause appreciable damage to young loblolly pines on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Although the extent of this damage varies greatly in different years and locations, it is common enough and severe enough to cause concern among foresters. It generally is restricted to 1-year-old seedlings; older seedlings usually are not injured unless the shoots are small and succulent after previous clipping or from growing in the shade.
