Hallo Mark + Charlie,
ja, your American Squirrel is really something special.
I mad a mistake, as I wrote: GB England made an unwanted import...
Some English people made a wanted import and set them free 100 years ago.
Now is is present almost everywhere at England and the native English Squirrel is more and more erased.
Now-a-days the British are hating the American Squirrel and loving the English one.
The difference must be really obviously.
Anyhow, the British are not calculating the direct damage, but more the indirect damage due to the change of the fauna.
We received some other animals from you and probably vice versa.

ciao

Hi Charlie/Hans,

I was fortunate to visit a pecan orchard last fall. I was told one squirrel
will eat 50 lbs. of nuts per year. They were hunting them with a shotgun
and by November they had shot over 100. At $1.50 per lb. wholesale that
$7500 worth of nuts.

a chestnut with soft burrs would never be eaten by humans, at least not if
it
were grown in new england. Squirrels would get every chestnut. I don't
even
know how squirrels survive, they are so stupid to start harvesting pecans
long before the meat really fills.

In the south, pecan orchards are kept way away from other woods so the
squirrels would have to cover a lot of open ground to get to the pecans.

There's reasons sometimes things have to be the way they are - all the
time I
see grass here and there come up albino - a shell-less oyster might be
handy
because it wouldn't require shucking but the oyster wouldn't do well
without a
shell . You gotta have the meanest burrs on chestnuts.
