I have an apple orchard with about 40 different kinds of apple trees.
This year the fruit on the trees has been "fruitful" and if anyone has
been watching the weather for Northeastern Pennsylvania, they will
know why ? we've had a lot of rain.

Yesterday, my husband mowed a portion of the orchard, around two trees
that have a lot of fruit. Today, about 30 apples were found on the
ground under these trees. All of the apples were unripe, and looked
as if they had either fallen or were pulled off. Several apples had
no stems; others had a little piece of a branch. On other apples,
there were marks. My suspicion is deer, however, wouldn't deer eat
the apples they took off the tree, even if they were green? Do they
"browse" like other animals, or do they eat what they take?
