Critters!
Please talk me off a ledge, I’m about to just chop down my fruit trees.
Just went to bag my persimmons and the tree was DECIMATED, probably by rats or squirrels. I have a backyard orchard of about 16 trees, and they thankfully don’t go for the citrus, but LOVE passion fruits and pomegranates and persimmons.
I know the whole “plant some for you and some for them” thing. That would be fine if these mofos weren’t so greedy they left me with 5 persimmons!
I’ve built enclosures for my beds, but my only recourse for the trees seems to be to bag everything I can in chain metal. Mesh won’t even keep them out!
I’ve taken to running outside in my underwear screaming at critters like a crazy lady.
Ok I’m done ranting.
