The collecting of used metal window screen from the hardware store has
worked out great..they're happy to be rid of it and we're happy to take it,
lots. Should be enough for all 200 trees by summers end.
The smaller the diameter I make the tube the more I get from each sheet. But
the sooner it will be too small. Rabbits aren't a concern, just voles, and
perhaps those borers (don't know if they are in our area).
The screen cuts beautifully in a paper cutter, with scissors, or
metal
shears. I have'nt decided yet whether to staple it into a tube or loosely
wrap say twice around and tie with wire (so it can be expanded later)
Question : What dia. of tree is it no longer needed against
voles?...if
you were doing it what max diameter would you all make the tubes? 1", 3",
6", ? rootstocks are: apple (prunifolia and B118), manchurian apricot, pyrus
ussuriensis, prunus americana. Thanks Mn. Del Z2/3 where 1/3 of the
apples are green tip.
