I think I may have seen one of these out in our backyard eating apples. It was too far away to see very well. I caught it from the corner of my eye thinking it was a squirrel, but then noticed it was much bigger around and had a much shorter tail. I'm thinking it's the same... It ran off into the weeds when it spotted me. I'll be watching for it to come back!

Most likely a woodchuck (or as my 3 yr old niece called the 'Chuck of the Woods' ) They probably like apples, too! Are you going to learn to prune apple trees and sell the fruit?
I don't know about pruning and such, there's a lot of apple orchards up here that do that kind of thing. These are mostly small apples, but maybe there's a market for them at some of the local shops. I see lots of places selling apple pies!
It's been years since I had Apple trees, but I seem to remember that apple trees produce small fruit when they haven't been pruned properly. Sounds like you've bought yourself an orchard. 😁
Ahh, interesting information, I'll have to do some research. I've got some pruning shears and pole saw at the ready!
