   Dave probably knows more about this than I&#160;,
  </div> 
  <div>
   but when we were young, my father always painted the stumps of
  </div> 
  <div>
   small fruit trees with something to keep the mice and rabbits away.
  </div> 
  <div>
   We were not to shoot hawks under any condition but snaring rabbits in
  </div> 
  <div>
   the little orchard was allowed.
  </div> 
  <div>
   The trees are still growing so it worked!
  </div> 
  <div>
   Enjoy the spring

   <br/>&#62; Hi Patricia,
   <br/>&#62; The Elder will have a better chance at recovery, by sprouting from the 
   <br/>&#62; root mass, if the girdled tops are cut back to ground level ASAP.

   <br/>&#62; &#62; Snow is still several feet deep in most places in my parents&#39; yard in 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; Bedford. This evening I noticed something interesting though on the 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; exposed bank above the driveway. Since it catches the sun the snow has 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; already melted there. A large multi-stemmed Red-berried Elder had its 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; bark stripped away for at least a foot from the ground up. The bare stems 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; shone white in the snowy twilight. The entire shrub will die; the work 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; of mice, I assume, under the snow.
   <br/>&#62; &#62;
   <br/>&#62; &#62; My Dad&#39;s fruit trees are still buried in snow - I hope they have not 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; suffered.
