[nafex] Sapsucker damage on jujube

I was surprised to find that a yellow-bellied sapsucker has been feeding
on my 5" caliper "So" jujube! I have most commonly seen damage on mature
pecans, so this was surprise to me.

I am planning to wrap the trunk with hardware cloth or some sort of tree
wrap.

Does any one have a favorite product to deter further damage?

[nafex] Arctic(R) Apples Will Thaw Congressional Action on GMO Labeling | Environmental Working Group

Arctic® Apples Will Thaw Congressional Action on GMO Labeling
Contact:
Shannon Van Hoesen <http://www.ewg.org/staff/shannon-van-hoesen>

For Immediate Release:
Friday, February 13, 2015

*Washington, DC -* The federal government's decision to allow marketing of
genetically engineered apples that are resistant to browning underscores
the need for a transparent and consistent national labeling standard, said
Environmental Working Group today.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said today
<http://www.aphis.usda.gov/stakeholders/downloads/2015/SA_arctic_apples.pdf>
it will permit biotech company Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc. to market two
varieties of GMO apples.

"The non-browning, Arctic apples are some of the first GMO whole foods to
reach the U.S. market," said Mary Ellen Kustin, EWG senior policy analyst.
"As we see this GMO fruit hit the stands, it only becomes more important to
have a clear labeling requirement to ensure that American consumers have
the information they crave and deserve to know."

Polls show that more than 90 percent of American consumers want to know
more about the food they are eating and favor GMO labeling, a right held by
citizens in 64 countries around the world.

Just yesterday, Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Richard Blumenthal
(D-Conn.) and Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) introduced
<http://www.ewg.org/release/chef-colicchio-activists-lawmakers-demand-action-gmo-labeling>
the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act. The bill would direct
the Food and Drug Administration to require that food manufacturers label
foods that contain GMOs.

"With even more toxic compounds, like 2,4-D and dicamba, being approved for
use on GMO crops, and now the green light for the Artic® apple, it's time
for Congress to give consumers the power to make informed decisions about
the food they are buying," Kustin added.
