Possums!!!
Yes, those damned possums... a never-ending battle here.
My poor fruit trees and silver birches in particular have taken a hammering this year. One thing I have found effective is a mixture of lard and kero - I wiped some around my young silver birches trunks (and any nearby posts) and 6 months later, no further damage thus far. But I can't do that to every tree, of course. Anyway, what I really want to find out is - how high can a possum jump from ground level? I reckon the only way I can keep my fruit orchard possum free is to build a corrugated iron fence around the whole orchard, then a large frame over the lot and cover with bird netting - this should keep all birds and possums out. The fence will have other benefits, too, such as keeping the wind out and providing a new pen for poultry. The only question is how high to build the fence, anyone have any ideas on that? Thanks. |
