Yep, that sounds about right. A squirle broke the apex
off my favorite Acer this spring while useing it as a
launching pad to get to our bird feeder. Guess I
should be happy they have not tried to eat any of my
trees yet. I know to keep dogs from chewing on your
furniture they sugest useing red pepper. Wonder if
that would work on squirles too.

Well, as usual, the squirrels are wreaking havoc
with my bonsai again. Last
year I discovered that squirrels find hornbeam and
maple buds quite
delicious!-no leaf pruning necessary that year
This year I have learned that
those evil squirels also find Chinese elm quite
tasty but they apparently have
a laxative effect on the squirrel as it left quite a
few "presents" on my
bonsai bench! I have resorted to bribing the evil
squirrels with sunflower
seeds and corn cobs to keep them away from my trees.
I suppose I shall have
agreat crop of sunflowers as accent plants this
year....)
