Thanks, I’ve seen that page before. I have been busy putting mesh hairnets on the tiny fruit clusters. Using tiny wooden clothes pins from the dollar store. Have done about 35 clusters so far. Many more to go. The reflective streamers are working too. Birds are staying out of the trees. Fingers crossed. The trees are way too big for netting.
My mature (about 4 years old) and my Baby (just a year) Cherry trees are both LOADED with fruit this season. I will be netting them for sure.
Apples are looking good, though the last wind storm we had actually pushed them East a bit! I figured that out when I was mowing the other day - suddenly couldn’t get under the Wolf River when it wasn’t a problem a week before - and it’s not heavy with fruit, yet. None of them were uprooted at all - just cosmetically they look kinda dumb, LOL! But, ya know, *I* lean a little more to the East than I used to, too! ;)
Miss Peach Tree isn’t doing much this year - she totally exhausted herself last season. I think neighbor Lisa, her daughter and I had to have picked 5, 5-gallon buckets worth of peaches from just the one tree!
