Guthrie County Extension is reminding homeowners to protect their trees, shrubs and other landscape plants from rabbits this winter, who will be desperate for anything they can eat, “The most effective way to prevent rabbit damage to trees and shrubs in the home landscape is to place chicken wire fencing around plants. To adequately protect plants, the fencing material needs to be high enough where rabbits wont be able to climb or reach over the fence after a heavy snow. In most cases, a fence that stands two or three feet wall should be sufficient. To stop  rabbits from climbing under the fencing, bury it two or three inches beneath the ground.”
