Welp, I can confirm that deer eat tomato. Welded wire fencing is keeping them at bay, but any branches or stems that stick through the mesh get chomped. They don't seem to be too adept at biting all the way through, so they bite and rip which yanks the whole plant to an extent.
As a side note, my Fox Cherry is 8ft tall now. Growth started slow but picked up significantly in this heat. I haven't been pulling suckers either. My posts are 8ft and I'm running out of ideas to support the gosh darnoodley thing.
