An animal barrier generally comprises a substantially open, substantially rigid grid, such as of wire, and a plurality of spikes of various lengths, heights and angles connected to the grid and projecting upward therefrom. In a preferred embodiment, the grid has a slit from its periphery inward for placing the grid around said stem of a plant, long spikes are at substantially right angles to the grid and slanted spikes are between 45 DEG and 80 DEG to the grid. The method of making an animal barrier from a grid of transverse and longitudinal wires joined at their intersections comprises the steps of severing a traverse wire adjacent each side of a first intersection, severing the longitudinal wire that is at the first intersection between the first intersection and an adjacent intersection in a first direction, bending the severed traverse wires upward from their adjacent intersections, and bending the severed longitudinal wire upward from the intersection adjacent the first intersection in a second direction opposite the first direction.
