Several years ago I stayed for a short time at a house on the lower
slopes of Mount Whitney just outside of Lone Pine, California. There
was a semi-wild apple orchard on the property and nearly all the trees
were filled with pretty, ripe-looking apples, although not all were
palatable. I went thru the orchard picking apples to eat off of many
trees. The trees with the sweetest and tastiest apples all had bear
claw marks on the bark where bears had climbed up into the tree,
presumably for the apples. So, I would say that they like the sweet
apples... Dan derry&bill wrote: 4BB9087E.5050805@interchange.ubc.ca" type="cite">Does anyone know of any research done on whether bears prefer red or green apples or sweet or sour apples? I know about choosing varieties which ripen early ... ideally before the bears come down the mountains.
