Hi Ante,
I see your are very much interested in these boars :
When these wild cousins of domestic pigs come into your garden it may result two things :
- number one : they plow your garden very well looking for worms and ants larvaes. This might be good if, in the same time, they would not destroy stone walls one meter high (they come in family : father, mother and four or five small ones)
- number two : they dig out your plants, palms, bananas and satellize them with their nose. That is the reason why I put very strong wire mesh around my young plants.
The more hunters hunt them the more their number is increasing.
I have to say that my garden is closed with wire mesh but ......they just dig a passage down it and come every night in the garden.
Hopefully, bananas don't flower at soil level, (except, of course, strawberry bananas). Five or six feet up there are less wild boars. There I have only to prevent bats damages.....
Phil
NB : the only musa which is fully boarproof is California gold (maybe because of gold). Don't you have a pup to trade ?....
