The PigPen's Resplendent Kaffeeklatsch

I get confused about your whereabouts 
How do you get deer in your orchard in the UK unless you’re lord emsworth of blandings castle?

Luckieman may answer on their own, but do you think no fruit is grown in the UK? No apple cider? I would think there are still spaces outside the cities for orchards.

There's a couple of large 'estates' and open commons in the region, inhabited by muntjack and red deer, and they occasionally jump the fence. And my orchard is indeed tiny (a dozen trees plus some developing in containers). I locate apple trees in the wild, try them, have them DNA tested and propagated, so losing a tree sets things back a long time.

You might try chicken wire or hardware cloth around the trunks. Here we need a six foot fence to guard a garden.
