Last year was the first year for my peach tree to bear fruit and it

My neighbor claims it is raccoons, but I can't be sure. We have a
plum tree on the other side of the house that has always been left
alone.

What can we do? We had raccoons under the deck one year and played
rap music (!), and put rags soaked in ammonia under there and they
left, but that won't work with this tree. Or would it?

I don't have raccoons but I do have possums (not opossums).

If you're in the US you are refering to Opossums.

Pointy headed rednecks refer to Opossums as possums because due to
their lack of education they are monosyllabic.
