| See pics. There are a couple dozen apple trees and a few cherry and plum trees in the same area as the apple tree in the pic. Most of the trees are much younger (2-4 years old vs. 11 for the one in the pic.) questions: as always, thx for help. |

| Looks like humongous holes made by a sapsucker. |

| Agree, sometimes I use wire mesh to cover up a section, here a yellow bellied sapsucker on a Spruce Tree.

| It sure does look like Sapsucker damage. I didn't realize that they would hit trees that are that small. |
|
| I've already covered the tree trunk with metal screen. Now I have to watch to see if the miscreant decides to pick another tree. If it does it might be time for the BB gun. |
|
| I'd put a hole in the back of the sapsucker's head about the same size as the ones he put in that tree. Unreal, apparently they cant just stick to POS white pines. |
