Tropical Fruit Discussion / rat chewed jackfruit bark - goner?
« on: March 11, 2024, 03:58:49 PM »Hi all. As can be seen in the photos, a rat went to town on my young jackfruit tree (planted as a 3 gal last summer). The rat at all around. Oddly enough, the only other time a rat has chewed the bark off of a tree at my house has been another jackfruit tree (which made it just fine and is doing great). But this time, the rat chewed all the way around. Should I bother breaking out the hardware cloth and trying to protect this tree, or does it look like a goner and I should pull it out and try again?
Thanks for your insights.
