Advice requested:
I put the goats in their fence, wrapped the persimmon trunk in parafilm and
shaded it with cardboard.
Any other advice on care of this trunk? 1/3-1/2 of the bark is gone in 2
spots on the south side.
Can't think of anything else I'd have done differently. It'll probably be
fine.
Second question, for those with goat experience:
Do we assume that goats will strip bark, anytime, any season, on any tree?
YES!!!
If there an age/size of fruit tree that is ever avoided when plenty of other
browse and concentrate is around?
NO!!!
Or do I assume that any fruit tree, any size, may be debarked at anytime,
thereby always fencing them out?
YES!!!
