I'm fairly new to DG and have a problem I need help with. Hope you all can help. I think the squirrels ruined our hibuscus bushes. Last year we planted three beautiful hibuscus bushes. They had lots of nice buds on them besides some beautiful blooms. I kept noticing that buds would be missing, then leaves. We thought maybe the plants were diseased, but there wasn't any fallen leaves on the ground. Pretty soon our hibuscus were just stalks with a few buds. Then one day I saw a squirrel with a branch bent all the way to the ground and it looked like he was eating the end of the stalk. It can't be a deer problem because we live in town. Has anyone had this problem? Or knows what possibly could be the cause if not squirrels? Please don't tell me the plants would have come back out of it, because after sitting there "naked" for several weeks, my husband, pulled them all up and threw them away (unbeknownst to me!). I would love to have some hibuscus, but they are a little too expensive to feed to the squirrels.
