avocado & grape thieves

[Guest guest]

What can you do? I have 2 huge avocado trees that bear hundreds of fruit & the

squirrels do the same thing. Take one bite, and throw it on the ground. They

don't get them all by a long shot, though. Also, we have raccoons that eat

grapes & they all munch the oranges, grapefruit, pomegranates & persimmons. It's

OK. I don't mind feeding the animals as long as they leave some fruit for us!

They are really good about it in my neighborhood! :)

They don't leave me ANY pecans at all...... the only pecans I got

last fall was what I picked off a limb that broke in heavy wind. The

very next day the rest of the pecans on my 2 small trees were

completely stripped clean. Not one pecan left. I have no idea where

they took them. ?????? But those pecans I saved from the broken

limb until I could get some of the hulls to come off, and let them

sit in the shells for several months..... were not filled out enough

to eat..... such a waste. I don't think the squirrels could even

eat them either. I'll bet someone somewhere has a big pile of pecans

in their yard! I'm talking about a LOT of pecans!
