Useing fortunei trunks for storage?.
The last couple of wks i have found what looks like acorns or nuts, which have not just fell but been tucked into layers of hair just below the spear point. Anyone else found similar. karl.

Nige, do you reckon squirrel's rather than some kind of bird?.Nigel wrote:wow you found a squirrels secret winter cache.karl66 wrote:The last couple of wks i have found what looks like acorns or nuts, which have not just fell but been tucked into layers of hair just below the spear point.

Re: Useing fortunei trunks for storage?.
Found exactly the same in my cordylines Karl, went to move them a couple of weeks ago and noticed between the leaves where they meet the trunk a collection of acorns tucked in. I have not noticed any oak trees near me, so whatever has brought them to my garden has been determined. I think most likely birds in my case, but could be squirrels
Re: Useing fortunei trunks for storage?.
Could be birds? but i would suggest squirrels if anything, those pesky grey ones, the red squirrels (not the member ) are hard to see these days.
Re: Useing fortunei trunks for storage?.
You are most likely right Aaron, although I have not seen any squirrels in my garden, Woody see's off anything that moves The squirrels going to be mighty disappointed when he re-visits my garden then, acorns went in the bin

I have seen 1 grey squirrel in my garden this year, and the first time i have ever seen one in my garden also. it ran straight towards the conifers and then that was it gone. Not seen one since.

Yes definitely acorns Leigh, like you i also have a healthy snail population , but I can tell the difference between the two. just wish the birds would eat a few more of the snails and slugsLeigh wrote:Are you sure they are Acorns Trudy !

Re: Useing fortunei trunks for storage?.
I would love to lob the snails over the fence Reds, we have neighbours living over the back who I don't like, I'm sure I read somewhere once that snails can travel great distances (seems unlikely at their pace ) I'm worried the slimy littler blitters would just slither back into my garden to spite meredsquirrel wrote:Trudy,you need a miners lamp,pair of marigolds and a darned good catapult
