You can use some plastic mesh fencing like this. It comes in like 2' and 3' rolls and doesn't cost a lot. Got it at Lowe's. I put some around my parent's plant that was getting eaten by rabbits and squirrels and it stopped them. It's sturdy enough that if u wrap it twice around your tree it should stand on its own. Good luck. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
