How come it takes more than one season for a transplanted pecan sapling to
establish itself, and start producing stems/leaves of any appreciable
amount?

How come among the many ligustrums I planted, the ones furtherest from tree
and other natural cover are being eaten by white-tailed deer/ ones in the
vincity of such cover aren't bothered?

Could it be predisposition of some sort? A long time question of mine.
If you find out please let me know.

It takes at least one, if not more, seasons to reestablish a root system to
promote full and health growth. Plus the damage done in the transplanting
needs to be off set.

Possibly a self defense mechanism, less cover for preditors to hide in and
attack from.
