Pear branches heavy w/ fruit dipped to w/in reach of deer recently.  The only
cultivar stripped of leaves AND small green fruitlets was 'Patten'.  Just 
passing
this along in case deer actually have a preference for 'Patten', compared to 
those
more closely related to 'Bartlett'.  (Maybe just THESE deer prefer it?  Maybe 
the
damage was done on a bet?  I'll never figure out deer.)
