She had tried everything and was so happy when the Irish Spring worked. Thank you! I too have apple trees and beautiful deer roaming around. The year before last the trees were loaded and we were waiting for them to ripen and then bam overnight they were all gone! I knew I had to do something this past summer, the trees were really loaded. I made rags out of old white t-shirts and tied them on branches of the trees. Then I put some smelly body spray I couldn't tolerate into a squeeze bottle and drenched the rags. I did this every evening. After I'd used all the body spray, I used some stinky dollar store cleaner I had, making sure it didn't get on the apples. This worked so well I actually felt guilty and picked up the bruised windfall apples and dumped them in another area to feed the deer. We picked bushels of apples! I know it might be hard for you to do this every evening so you might try hanging strips of rags and bars of Irish Spring. I hope this helps.

Yay, your trees are maturing enough to get fruit this year. <br />My citrus trees are blooming also. I’ve been planting my garden and it’s wonderful being surrounded by their amazing scents. <br />Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-59617526310836322982020-03-11T10:34:15.638-05:002020-03-11T10:34:15.638-05:00We have Canada geese that come on our lawn and doc...We have Canada geese that come on our lawn and dock in the summer.
