They were picking the leaves off then dropping them, not eating them. I tried a different kind of barrier using fencing laying on the ground. The theory was they would avoid walking on it & it seems to have worked - the leaves an the cherry grew again. The plum on the right doesn't seem to get bothered, but they do eat the extra plums off the ground. |
