If the damage to the bark is severe and extensive, it may be best to cut back to healthy bark and start over. However, if the damage is minimal and the remaining branch is still healthy, there is a chance to save the tree. In such cases, it is recommended to provide proper care and support to the tree, including regular watering, fertilization, and protection from further deer damage.

Typically, these trees are quite hardy, and they will come back from severe damage and pruning. This collection of articles will help you with your tree:
