Thanks for all the answers
I suspect rabbits because the crabapple, apricot and peach trees have not been touched. Also my seedlings seem to disappear when they get large enough to see.
Not certain what to do about it.
I don't want to fence those areas as I am mostly growing trees and the fences would be in the way.
I have to take that fox and coyote urine back to the store, exchange it.
However maybe anything that would repel a deer would repel kitty cats.
Another day, another problem to solve out on the rural route
Sure grateful for all the folks here so willing to share information and sympathy
Appreciate it
Happy Easter to y'all!
