Hello!
We recently moved to mountains of NM, we are at 8000 ft of elevation. Other kind neighbors have tried planting fruit
trees and even though the trees seem to do well in spite of the cold, snow, drought and clay soils, it seems that for all that have tried, the
moles end up eating the
roots of the trees by year two. No one has been successful in the last 30 years. Kind of discouraging!
Last fall we planted a few cold hardy fruit trees but just know I am wondering if I
should have placed
chicken wire in the ground around the holes before planting.
Do you know of any other way to protect/prevent/deter the moles from getting my trees? We did see mole trails last spring in the area where the fruit trees are.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
