Keith, A friend of mine several miles south of Winston-Salem lives 30 yards from a creek and has several pawpaw trees that love the growing conditions there. But once the fruit starts to fall he finds a few well-eaten ones down at the edge of the creek every morning - almost certainly raccoons - they strip the skin off and leave a pile of seeds. -----Original Message----- Hi Keith, It is my observation that deer do not eat pawpaws. I've seen many pawpaws with teeth marks that look like deer. They seem to bite into them but reject them as soon as they taste the skin. They don't eat the leaves, branches or new growth either. What is carrying them off? I don't know, but feel sure it isn't deer. Jerry |
