Caren, squirrels can carry amazingly large fruit, even on power
lines. I think they’re your thieves. -- Sam From:

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? Caren
