Removing Ornamental Grasses - Rabbit Winter Hiding Spot - January 2025
Yesterday, I posted photos of how the (dang!) rabbits had removed the bark from the ground all the way up about 18" on all eight trunks of the apple (fruit) trees that I planted in 2020 as part of a Belgian Fence espalier. The removal of bark by rabbits during Winter is called "Girdling" and essentially kills the tree.
I said that it is time to 'play for keeps' with these rabbits and the first step took place today with the removal of - what I think - is their hiding place. These Miscanthus grasses that are in front of the Belgian Fence.
See below for the current state of these grasses:
Because I'm taking these grasses down to the ground and removing them. They won't be abused by the rabbits like the Raquel Welch (aka "Fussy Britches") poster was by Andy Dufrense at Shawshank. I won't stand for it.
While the damage has been done to the Apple Trees, I'm not going to let these rabbits lurk over there in safety any longer.
Like I said...playing for keeps.
