Re: What's eating my fig?

Rabbits, deer, goats - and probably other wild or semi-wild animals - will gnaw the bark off trees in hard winters.

Hi Nan,

Do you have squirrels?  Squirrels managed to
kill my sisters Hoheria tree by
eating the bark.  She lives in Berkeley.

Some critter is eating the bark on my little



fig tree.  It has to be



a climber as the bark is missing from about



10" off the ground all



the way up to a couple of feet off the



ground.




Any ideas what's eating my fig?
