| I can't figure out what is doing this to the new fruit on my dwarf nectarine. Any thoughts? The leaves have no problems. Thanks |

| What kind of animals do you have in your location? Possums, rats, maybe even fruit bats are what I'm thinking. |

| I've been looking at that photo too, and waiting for someone more knowledgeable of your area to get back to you... From the damage to the fruit, I would suspect some kind of animal or bird over insect, and would first guess something with teeth and not beak...but it's only a guess. Have you seen any kind of activity in the tree? Rodents or animals common to your climate and location? If you aren't seeing anything in the daytime, going out at night with a flashlight and looking can be helpful. |
