I am slowly re-planting a forest in an old field to expand upon a nearby forest remnant. Previously, I have planted mostly oaks, tulip poplar, and other simple leaf trees and they seem to do well in the tree tubes so far. For this fall, I am thinking if incorporating hickories and black walnut in the next phase since they are the other major components of the existing mature forest nearby but I did not know if they would do well in tree tubes given how small the circumference of the tube is compared to the tree's leaves and woven wire fencing would be the preferred way to protect from deer browse.
