I just lost my beautiful rose bush, a cherry tree, and a blueberry bush. If I managed to upload the photo successfully, it will show what is left of the cherry and blueberry.
Yesterday, I dug up 5 of my remaining Huckleberry, blueberry, honeyberry and lined the planting hole with hardware cloth. My plum, nectarine, apple, asian pear, and cherry are much too big to dig up and line with hardware cloth so I am hoping someone can give advice on what to do.
I have been trapping with the cinch trap, but the little buggers are smart and have learned to avoid the traps.
All of the flowers I have planted they have devoured. I am in desparate need of curtailment suggestions.
I have tried planting extra of EVERYTHING but that has just created a large and healthy colony. They also have at least 13 acres they could forage, but, of course, they LOVE my plantings.Thumb of 2013-02-25/Toni/9d9e50
