I've done what I can to stop the squirrel(?) from gnawing further on 2 of my fruits.

What should I do to treat the damage so I can make the weigh off on 10/9/10?

Paint on full strenght daconil. Shoot or trap the squirrel. Dang tree rats.

So far this year I have used straight Alliette like a salt pack and just recently as of today I applied full strength Eagle 20. I agree with Daconil full strength I have used that last year with great success, but I have run out for the season.

Thanks, everyone. On closer examination, it appears a mouse or mice were at work.

Treated with Daconil and surrounded fruit with various anti-mouse substances and devices(after the damage was done).

Next year, I will know better.

VTSteve, I'm right across the pond from you in Milton. I would love to see your patch. I would email but I can't find any way to get your information on the site. Would you mind emailing me? ajnadeau1@myfairpoint.net

Any other NW VT growers, I would like to hear/learn from you also. I'm not interested in growing competitivly(sp), just want to grow a few 3-400 lb ones for the granfkids and friends.
