In 2011, Rabbit Hill lived up to its name when several hungry rabbits ate the bark off 30 fruit trees in the orchard located next to the stream. During the 2011 AGM, homeowners voted to replace the trees. The trees were successfully replaced and staked in 2012.
To prevent this from happening again, all of the trees in the orchard were wrapped in wire netting. This didn’t slow the larger rabbits propped up on the snow from reaching the lower branches of the new and existing trees so TGHA placed wire baskets around the lower limbs of each tree. This doesn’t hurt the rabbits but does make the meal less attractive.
Please help yourself to the fruit but use a ladder to reach the higher apples to avoid breaking any branches.
