Our peach tree started with about 300 peaches. We removed about 100 to help the others grow. Then some thief removed about 100 more. We tried spraying hot sauce on the fruit - in addition to making me feel like I got sprayed with pepper spray - it seemed to temporarily reduce the amount of theft.
Then we got 5 inches of rain in 3 hours ... so the thief may have returned. At present we only have about 50 peaches left - about 20 of which are being protected by used strawberry containers.
