I make cages from chicken wire that are easy to make.

Three sticks or posts in the ground about a foot from the tree or bush. take the chicken wire and cut it about 6 in bigger then the area marked out by the posts and just wrap around the posts! take the little bits at the edge of the wire and bend over and it will hold. Plus cheap and looks not to bad. In the pic you can see all my bushes and trees (thanks to all the wild life!) have to get one of these for the first few years of life. just make sure the plant is in the middle so you can almost not reach them - thus the deer and other little things cannot reach them !
