Last summer when it was hot and dry from the Santa Ana winds the little guys were thirsty so they nibbled on these fruit and the leaves. This is the tallest Hawaiian apple I've grown yet with the fruit bunch about 20 feet up. I was able to get them down by myself without getting hurt or damaging the fruits or the other plants including my ready to flower Heliconias growing under them! 87 fingers on this one! The whole thing from where I cut to the flower bud is about 6 feet long.

Here is pics of the damage.
