Protect Fruit Trees from Rabbits Before Snow Falls
County Extension Director Leo Waggoner advises orchardists to protect fruit trees before the first snowfall. Use 24 to 48 inch chicken wire cylinders or 1 to 2 inch mesh hardware cloth to shield trunks and lower limbs, with cylinders extending to scaffold branches. Apply repellent paint to lower limbs, renewing during winter as needed. Repellent mix: 1/4 pound resin in a quart denatured alcohol, stirred 10 to 14 hours to paint about 40 trees.
