Jim,  When I first heard about Micromalus I looked up what I could find on
the internet, and there was an article about how voles didn't seem to like
the taste.  I'd lost several trees to voles, so have planted out some dozen
or more Micromalus, and haven't lost any to voles in the 3 yrs they've been
there.  I also haven't lost any other apples to voles after putting metal
window screen around their trunks.  Donna
