Many of my Contorted So’s have these markings. They’re not deep, fruit still tastes great, but look awful. Birds? I don’t see where birds could sit to try to eat these, there’s no solid branch close to many of these fruits.

Grasshoppers?
We rarely see those in Dallas. I haven’t seen any.
I have a few on mine to. I think it is ants. A couple they have made their way into and set up housekeeping…or at least a banquet table.

I suppose it could be ants. I’ll try some ant poison after harvest season. Thanks!
Hi Tony! What does a jujubee look like after a Japanese beatle feasts on it?
Don’t forget that ants are also some of the pollinators…

Don’t say it very loud about not seeing Japanese beetles. I don’t think I want them showing up here!!!
