hardware cloth cages, but they're a pain in the butt to do.

I'm surrounded by millions of them, and they are a really ubiquitous tree in my city generally, almost like weeds. The city employees regularly chop them down on the sides of the roads too, and just leave them there. Last year I scooped up a few of those, easier than me cutting them down. They can vary a bit in size, but I like a minimum of about 2 inches, though 3+ is better.

Here I am with left-over farm equipment from the neighbors and I either have T posts and a T post driver.. or juniper branches shovel and twine! (the fence line is almost all juniper)
