While preparing for another snow storm, a rather big one as it turns out, I saw that the bottom 18" or so of bark has been chewed off the fig trunks. It seems to be the uppermost part of the trunks, but clearly more than just a spot or two.
Now I wonder if I will even HAVE fig trees to bother with at all this spring.
Years ago, one of our neighbors allowed a rabbit (and then a family of rabbits) to live under her deck because she was protecting nature. Now the neighborhood is overrun with rabbits that have grown to be the size of small shitz tu dogs. I believe the rabbits are chewing up my fig trees.
Picture to come once the current snow melts down.
