Default Protecting Plums

No extra measures are needed. While it is true that most fruits
(cherries, apples, etc.) are very attractive to birds and other
wildlife, it seems that plums do not hold the same appeal and are
relatively immume to predation by animals.

The current theory is that since plums eventually become prunes, no
animal with any sense wants anything to do with them.

I have a fairly new plum tree that looks like it will bear some fruit this
year. There are at least 12 plums that I can see. I am really excited. Do
I have to net the tree or any thing to keep the plums from being squirrel,
possum, or bird food?

Thanks,
Jim
