STEM munched PICS

That mesh won't do anything. You need to take care of this ASAP. If nothing else cut a couple of pop cans and place them around the base of the stem. 2 high minimum.

Don't know about where you are but here that is a very common problem with all plants. Here the problem is mostly squirrels and ground hogs and the problem seldom occurs any higher that they can reach standing on their hind legs. While wire does work simple cheap tree wrap does just as well and is easier to use. Its like a roll of crept paper treated for wrapping young tree trunk bases to protect from exactly what your problem is.

Typical home depot garden center item, bought every roll they had last month. They had a clearance sale $1 ea.
 
alright man will im going to wait to see if any more damage occurs higher up. if it does ill definitely consider the tree wrap.
