naja naja Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 So at what point does this turn from eating for food to this possum just being an addict? Bastard keeps stripping the top metre of the trees. Leaves the red alone for the most part, but smashes the planthelpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strontium Dawg Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 You could spray it with chilli, but then again he might get a taste for your chilli's and start eating them too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naja naja Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 I really don’t mind too much. But it does kill the top metre for the last two years. It’s kinda keeping them all at the same height. just kinda curious as to what effects and whether this is feeding behaviour or addictive behaviour?

Darklight Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Lol, I have the opposite problem- wallabies stripping branches of young NL trees, bending down and breaking thicker vertical stems and ultimately killing the trees Weirdly enough not the largest, oldest tree- they don't touch that, maybe it's too exposed But I planted another six a couple of years back in more sheltered areas- they've never thrived and that's prolly the reason another old tree has never thrived either. One of the young ones is 2m high and completely stripped up to about 1.2m Totally deliberate IMO- nothing nearby targeted. Explains why I don't see as many dead wallabies out the front these days, they're all hyped up and hopping faster ;) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withdrawl clinic Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 that all supports the story how the goat farmer from yemen, observed his flock eating it and as such thought, it has to be good for me as well. i got possums and catha, but the trees are fine, the possums hardly go on the ground here because people have so many dogs. possums move here using the electric wires. obviously a learned behavior, and thought to the offspring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
