Living with the cottontail and growing fruit

These rabbits are busy but not like you think. I’ve got one older one out front the dogs can’t catch yet. He hates the taste of my pear rootstocks and doesn’t like being jabbed by the wicked rootstock thorns. He nibbled some low hanging buds but that was the extent of it. He has declared war on elms so it feels a little strange that we are on the same side. Those are elm in the photo. [20220207_174441]
