Thanks Nick they are delicious! The problem is my brebas are not too many to go around, also, I have a two legged critter at home; my daughter, who does not want to share any with even myself or my wife. But, once the main crop comes in, I might have some for sale, let's keep in touch!

Hi nick, nice breakfast.
I guess you don't use a net. So what percentage would you say is lost to birds?

It is a great breakfast for sure! I have a huge tree, about 15' tall and 15' across and the only way i can use a net is by laying it over the branches and that hasn't worked well with the growth of the branches, they curl up and stop growing! So, I have no other choice but to share it with nature and that includes squirrels, small birds, parrots and crows.... And I end up losing a good 25% of my crop!

Nick, since you're in the neighborhood, let's meet at some point and come November, when the trees go dormant, we'll exchange some cuttings.
