Can anyone here tell me if squirrels will eat magnolia buds? The grey squirrels here are always in our stellata, which is full of buds and I'm wondering what the attraction is. I haven't noticed any gnawing, but I'm curious.

2014 post date.. @Becky tells me most likely everybody is long gone.Dear John. I would love to buy a sweet stellata for my grey and black squirrel infested yard. Could you provide an update on how your magnolia has fared? Blooms? Breakage? Any comments on the squirrel/magnolia battle are welcome!
Geeze, how time flies! I've been pre-ocupied with other things going on in our lives. Lost our son two years ago after fighting cancer for three years, and had a hard time getting back to gardening, etc. As for the stellata, the tree rats are DEFINITELY dining on the buds! And a recent snow storm broke several branches off. All in all, though, it puts on a beautiful, if short, show every spring.HARO last posted on 12th October 2017.
