Last weekend my Japanese Maple was stripped of its foliage by a deer. I planted the tree four years ago and it’s about 36" tall. The odd thing is that only one side of the tree was eaten. Will that stripped side recover? Do I need to do anything to aide in its recovery? Any advice would be appreciated.
