all the grapes off the vines overnight. Ingrid

Same here. There isn't a walnut, buckeye, or paw paw to be found with all
the wildlife helping themselves. What I find perplexing is that my neighbors
have a crab apple that produces fruit the size of cherries. They stay on
the tree all year and finally drop in the spring. Nothing eats them. The
berries on my vibernum hardly show mature color before they are stripped.
The finches devour the seeds from the sunflowers and cone flowers. Other
birds eat the dogwood berries. It's a regular buffet around here but I
enjoy watching.

well if you was squirrel would you eat hard bitter little spits of crab apple or nice
big juicy paw paw... LOL. Ingrid

I would think that in the depths of winter when there was no choice that
some creature would eat the crab apples.
