I just realized the pear tree I planted out at my mothers had pears, but no more and
I am sure it was the squirrels too. I am thinking about building a wire cage around
the tree. it all seemed to start with the edible pit apricot tree ... it was loaded
and then the squirrels stripped it in 24 hours and after that they went for all the
fruit. Ingrid

I have a great pear tree in my front yard that provides some of the
greatest, sweetest pears I've ever tasted. However, the squirrels have found
this out as well and in the past few years, have gotten to all of the pears
before I have. Any ideas on how I can prevent them from stealing my harvest?
There are plenty of other trees nearby, so preventing them from climbing the
trunk of the pear tree wouldn't help.
