What Causes Tips Of Pussy Willow Shrub And Lilacs To Be Cut Off Cleanly

Question From: Warnerville, New York, United States
Q: what causes the tips of my pussy willow shrub and small lilacs look like someone cut the tips off with a knife

A: Deer will nip the tender tips of shrubs. I use a product called PlantSkydd. Once the leaves mature they usually leave the shrubs alone. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
