Back in our old condo complex, there was a guy who was randomly pruning trees around the grounds. Someone approached him because he wasn't wearing our landscaper's uniform and he skedaddled. A few weeks later, condos by those trees were robbed; he was casing the joint. Any chance that is what's happening?
I had a beautiful climbing red rose bush on the side of my house. Everytime it would have buds about to bloom, the branch would be cut off. It was visible to the road. I was convinced it was the lady across the street because she would often comment on how beautiful my flowers were. I put up a small note on the trellis by the rose bush that said "I see you". I never had another rose cut off again. I had also noticed it on a rose bush in my back yard around the same time, so whoever it was was also going in my back yard!
Okay, now I'm getting pissed. But like seriously, WTF pissed.
Set up trail cam. This is my tree on Sunday night. We have a friend who is a vet. They stopped by and we were telling them about it. So we went out to look. The video prior to this screenshot is us looking at it. See the poor little branch holding its own?
And then not even 12 hours later, in the morning - this is all that is left
So something came in the middle of the night and snatched the last branch. But nothing was picked up on the camera. WTF people!!!!!! WHO IS STEALING MY BRANCHES???
There isn't much left for this greedy little bastard critter to take. I'll keep it up for a while more until there is literally no more left of my tree
ETA our friend said you can see a little w mark on the branches, so he said it's a critter most likely.
Fuck you zaneyzoo, you keep posting updates and then NOTHING!!!!! No really, I'm super sorry something is vandalizing your gardenia. Have you researched a demogorgon?

It's *kind* of an update, right? I mean, camera, pictures, fucking ghost critter?
I have not researched it, but a quick google search makes me happy I haven't?
It's pretty safe to say I am over invested in this, but gardenias are my favorite and this is so weird! How on earth could a rodent or small critter take the branches away?! I'm under the (mistaken?) impression that sizeable branches are being cut/gnawed and removed, no?
