Out of interest, could anyone suggest what would be
stealing small pears off my Flemish Beaty in July before they've fully grown
and ripened? It's a small, young tree that I planyed last year that set
about 8-10 small fruit. However something came and took them at the beginning of
July. There were absolutely no signs of damage to the tree and absolutely no
trace of the pears.
Animalwise we have quite a family of squirrels in
the area but it seems to me that they would be too big for a squirrel to carry
off. We have the odd raccoon, but the tree is too spindly to hold that kind of
weight without branch damage. My kids show no interest in my fruit until it's on
a plate in front of them, and they know better. As do the
neighbours.
Any ideas so I can work out a strategy to protect
them for next year?
