Pete is my pecan tree that my daughter planted about 5 years ago. He had a few pecans last year. This year he was loaded down with so many pecans that all his spindly branches sagged toward the ground. Well, in stepped Edward, our resident squirrel, to save the day. Now all Pete's branches proudly reach toward the sky and Pete again stands tall and proud. Edward removed all those tumors, ie pecans at the ends of Pete's branches. And I get no pecans. I will have them come up all over my yard though.
I planted strawberries in pots on the patio this spring. I was blaming the birds and the squirrel for getting my strawberries. Then I caught Honey and Jock with their noses in the pots of strawberries having a snack. They love picking fruits and veggies. So I plant them for them .
