Something destroyed the apple tree growing out of a log!
It took all the leaves off the branch -- and then didn't even eat them all! :(

its still alive, do not worry ;) will grow up ! just fence it with some net
Perhaps -- without those leaves, it won't get much from the sunlight...
LoL next time it must learn good manners
it's too bad to see that little tree is destroyed, it looks like someone did it intentionally.
Yeah. Hoping it's not the neighborhood kids...
I bet it is a rabbit from yesterday :)
Possibly, although I'm not sure they can get over the fence to the hen pen -- it's 5' tall.
So sorry about that. What do you think destroyed it?
Guessing an animal of some sort. Probably not a disease, or insects; those leaves looked torn off.
Ok. Hope not that rabbit you shown me. Rabbits are not destructive i guess.
Rabbits are, but they can't get into that fenced-in area. Might have been the storms we had last week, someone else mentioned that.
That is what everything I tried to grow this year looks like. Grasshoppers got EVERYTHING.
Ouch! We don't have grasshoppers, that I know of; a month or two ago one flew by my head fairly quickly, and I was out in the garden, but I haven't seen others.
I got a butterfly net and have chased the cabbage moths that get into our lettuce and kale. Have taken many down, but I'm not sure it's an efficient use of my time... :)
That poor poor tree. Don't worry, eventually the soil will provide for the left overs ;)
Looks like due to heavy rain or wind the leaves destroyed or by an animals.
Good point, we did have a bunch of rain last week, that might be the culprit and not "revenge for taking the woodchuck away"... :)
I checked it this morning and the branch is turning brown; I think it's dead, but it doesn't hurt me to leave it there and see if it recovers.
How could they....(
ohhhh :(
