I'd leave the tube off and put a wire cage on it.

This oak was getting browsed heavily and I put a tube on it last year. It put on some good growth, but I noticed the bark was looking really irregular where the browse line had been. I took the tube off and it is really flexible as well. The new growth looks and feels fine. Do you think this is a "dead" tree growing? Any thoughts on what to do with it? Irregular bark New Growth this year Like Stu said I’d go with a cage. Stake it now though to give it support. Is that a bur oak? Don’t they form heavy ridges on their bark like that as they mature?

I love bur oaks. They've got to be one of my favorite trees. Especially out in the middle of a field by itself. Big, circular, monarch of a tree.

Northern red oak acorns. The color is off. Not nearly as green. The deer here are hitting the red oak acorns way more than the plots. This was from my brother’s buck. I’ll be releasing several more red oaks this winter. .

I checked my east boundary area yesterday and the deer have been hammering the red oak acorns. Tracks everywhere. I think they’d definitely be a late season good source addition to you guys with lots of white and bur oaks.

I saw a lot of acorns on the ground in Iowa this weekend, they have plenty to eat yet!
