Hello! I have a 7 foot tall buckeye tree that was planted in my yard almost 2 years ago and I live in an urban residential neighborhood of south Minneapolis. Both last spring and this one, "something" is causing the ends of the branches to be torn off - assumedly from eating the tasty salad of leaves that is unfolding. Once they are fully unfolded, the problem ends. This year, I have tried to deter it by spraying a deterrent with egg solids on the leaves. Maybe it's helping a little - but still there has been some munching. I'm afraid I will end up with a tree that just looks like a bunch of dead/leafless branches eventually. Two pictures attached - one of an end from last year and one of the overall tree. What do you think is doing this? (squirrels?) And how can I minimize this activity? -Christine
