I would probably have to refer to a fence like this as The Fence....it deserves the title! One could keep most anything out~or in~with a fence like that...... like buffalo or giraffes...or even goats! 
Sorry, Free...couldn't resist!

That's quite an astute observation. The fence went up in August of 2008 and the one thing I discovered this past spring was that I had inadvertently trapped a number of woodchucks within the orchard area resulting in them destroying about 20 fruit trees by girdling the bark off of them up to about 3 feet off the ground. Apparently they didn't have much else to eat.Beekissed said:I would probably have to refer to a fence like this as The Fence....it deserves the title!

Oh, the joys of the learning curve.

Oh...that would certainly be a downer.... 
I wouldn't have thought of that either.

that is a big problem about fencing to the point of truly stopping the flow of wildlife etc. thru their happy hunting grounds.
Problem with fencing it is needed but can be a bad thing also.
But for me, I fence...LOL

I have orchard envy! I'm in the suburbs near L.A. but I recently ordered 10 fruit trees to add to my backyard so I can at least have a mini orchard. I only recently discovered that apples can grow in Southern California; I thought it had to be colder, so I had never tried them before. I got three apples -- cinnamon spice, victoria limbertwig, and white pearmain -- and I'm hoping they do well here. I also got a mid pride peach, weeping santa rosa plum, seckel pear, garden prince almond, flavor king pluot, li jujube, and black mission fig. They should be here in January and I'm very excited.
Your land and the house-to-be look great! And the list of fruits on your website is wonderful. Keep us posted on the progress!

Is your screen name a variety of hot pepper? Just curious!

Yes, a Diavolicchio is a type of Italian chili pepper. But it's more of a broad category of chili than a specific variety. It literally means "Little Devil."Henrietta23 said:

Thanks for the suggestion and for the hello. I've altered the title of the journal accordingly.
