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.)
