[QUOTE="PickettSFHunter, post: 5298365, member: 2171"] I have planted around 300 in this area. If I were doing it over again, I wouldn’t plant any apple or pear. You just can’t keep bears from destroying them. They destroy them well before the fruit is even close to ripe. They will usually rip the whole tree down or at least break the entire top out. The only way I would do it again is with a electric fence maybe around the whole thing? I have wasted some serious coin due to the bears. I now replace with chestnuts, sawtooths, etc. Bears will chow on some chestnuts but won’t damage the trees so bad. [/QUOTE]
