A plant protection/deer exclusion enclosure includes a segment of fencing formed into an overlapping spiral configuration to define a variable diameter enclosed cylindrical volume that protects a plant from browsing or rubbing by deer. The overlapping spiral configuration is characterized by the first column of rectangular openings of the fencing being positioned radially outside, and in superimposed alignment with, the last column of rectangular openings. A plurality of fasteners contact both the first and second side wires of the rectangular openings in both the first column and the second column to provide structural integrity, especially in the attachment portion, of the enclosed cylindrical volume.
