Squirrels are taking a few but I think the thorns are doing their job. 3rd year for this bush if I remember right.

The thorns on these are so much worse than the red raspberries, but they do taste delicious! We have some growing wild behind our house. I call it the burglar deterrent.

So far the thorns seem to be deterring the squirrels!
