Deer just topped my newly planted Early Golden persimmon last night. It
was protected by a 4 foot tree protector, but about 4 inches of growth
had just cleared the top. Gone now. As is all the foliage from the 7"
tall Dunstan chestnut in a pot on my front porch!
And to think, this week I had been delighting in the early morning fawn
antics around my place.
No more warm and fuzzy feelings for the "hoofed rats" as Lucky so
eloquently refers to them.
