| I somehow got cut off from my question. Anyway I found it chewed down to about 2 feet. I could understand if if was the dead of winter, but there's lots of food around. Any ideas of why it would be tempting now to some animal? |

| Does it look like animal damage and not pests? I would suspect deer even though there is plenty for them to eat elsewhere. All my sunflowers were "pruned down to 4 ft; the tomatoes were chewed off at the top, and they even chewed on the rhubarb! I lost all my peaches to them and they have damaged some of the peach branches. I have to assume deer given the heighth but maybe it's bigfoot. |
