How do rabbits kill a tree?
They girdle it, which means they strip off all of the bark all the way around the trunk.  If you do that, the leaves and roots can no longer exchange nutrients and the tree basically starves to death.

Don't you have a dog? He sleeping on the job?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I have never seen a rabbit do that.  I once did that to an apple tree when I was a kid, though.  The tree died shortly after.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He's not allowed down in that part of the yard... it's out of range of his wireless collar.  Plus, he would be eating the trees themselves if he could... he completely ate one of my bushes last year (which has since made an amazing comeback after having been 'trimmed' down it its roots).

You need tougher trees.  My sister planted a sapling that I ran over with the lawnmower three times.  It came back each time and is now a tree.  An odd looking tree that appears to be more of a bush, but it did grow.

They named that tree after me. :)

It was named in my honor for my endearing qualities.

Lions gnawing on it are one of the major threats to the Bradford Pear. :(

Two observations:

1.  My granny smith seems to have become the favored bathroom of one of the local stray cats.  I wonder if cat manure is beneficial to a tree? :hmm:

2.  I was checking some of the pruning cuts I did a few weeks back and I realized that most of the tall trees in my woods are actually osage orange tress.  I thought the osage orange was a short tree, but I've got at least 3 or 4 that are probably 60+ feet tall. :huh:  I knew I had some osage orange back there, since I find the oranges every fall, but no idea I had so damn many.  I wonder if there's any meaningful use for all of these 'fruits'?  I say it that way because the oranges are supposedly mostly tasteless and if you eat them they induce vomiting. :yuk:
