If that "Protector" is not 5 feet off the ground..... a squirrel will jump over it.
They are getting all my pears now. I hope a few will survive. I have had squirrels jump from a limb that was 8 feet away and about 10 feet above, to get on our bird seed cake. The squirrel would miss about 3 out of 4 attempts. |

Crows can wipe out a pear tree really fast.

better off wrapping the trunk with mesh wire then hook a transformer to it to zap them when they touch it.
they might still figure out to jump above it but then again they might not. that's the best thing I can think of that would be affective and doesn't look like trash hanging from a tree. short of setting up a shooting station and spending your afternoons popping the visitors as they arrive, animal thieves show up alive but leave dead in a 5 gln bucket |

:amen bubba. If it works that's all that matters. If anyone thinks it looks trashy they should volunteer their time and $ to build you something they approve of. If they aren't willing to do that they shouldn't say a word.
