The colonel had to resort to all kinds of stratagems to keep his slaves out of the garden. The last and most successful one was that or tarring his fence all around; after which, if a slave was caught with any tar upon his person, it was deemed sufficient proof that he had either been into the garden, or had tried to get in.

Colonel Lloyd kept the slave boys from taking his fruit by instilling fear through harsh punishments and threats of violence. The boys were likely aware of the consequences of disobeying and understood the potential risks of attempting to take the fruit.
