I try not to put many fruits into compost because of the critters. Banana peels and some other fruits go into the worm bin. I had some wrinkly cherries that I put out under the bird feeder and the squirrels scarfed those up. Yup, I feed birds all year. I like to make sure they'll stay in my area to eat mosquitoes in the summer. But I only put fruit or stale baked goods out in the morning so that it's gone by nightfall and won't attract raccoons or possums. Luckily, haven't seen a skunk in my yard but have seen a red fox from time to time.
