Not exactly a QDM question, but I recently planted a bunch of these in clearings my bottomland. Will the bucks tear these up in a few year like they do pine trees? I know I planted about 100 loblolly pines years ago and some of them got torn up so bad they died. Seemed like they favored them once the trunk diameter reached about an inch and a half to three or four inches in diameter.
