Well Nolena, I fee your pain. Here in New Mexico I've been babying 6 fruit trees along for 5 years with augmented soil, watering--following all the restrictions, etc. But I lost my Pippin apple and one of my bing cherries because the gophers ate all the roots. My granny smith is barely making it and I just saw a lot of activity near my dwarf peach. GRRRR. I think because of the drought, the trees that I am watering are practically the only thing to eat. But DANG, just as I was about to get fruit.....
