Winter 2018/19 was the first time in 25 years that I had such extensive damage to trees and shrubs. I've never had to cover them before.

I'm a bit confused about the years you refer to. In summer 2018 my property was overrun by squirrels and I attempted (unsuccessfully) to relocate them. That was also the year that the media were reporting thousands of squirrels killed on the roads. In summer 2019 there were almost no squirrels. Wouldn't that mean there were fewer acorns in 2019?
Go to a sport store and buy some coyote urine and use it liberally around your shrubbery.
