I have a lilac tree I planted last spring, just today I noticed bark missing on the one side. We do have a lot of rabbits and squirrels around, can someone give me suggestions of what to do
My daughter went on holiday in august of this year and on her return found that her neighbour had pruned her lilac tree back very hard. She had spoken to my daughter before she went away and asked if it was okay to remove the branches that over hung the fence into her garden and my daughter agreed to that. Problem is the neighbour actually hard pruned the whole tree. My daughter is now concerned that the tree may not recover. Any ideas, it does look very sad.

I'd get some rabbit tree guards something like these http://www.harrodhorticultural.com/tree-guards-5-pack-pid8114.html
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thank you I will do just that
