Subject: [NAFEX] Re: apple bag sizes

I used bags that were 6 3/4" x 8" last year. This size worked pretty well, maybe a little big but not bad.  They looked really funny in June when the apples are only the size of a quarter with all of these huge bags hanging in the tree. I think some of my neighbors still question my sanity, having no idea why there would be plastic bags on a tree.
    Using twist ties wastes and inch or so in length compared to having a draw string. Last year I repositioned the bags a little a couple times because on some apples it looked like the apples were sticking to the plastic bag as it grew and stretch the bag a little (not nearly enough to break it.)

Hello,

Anyone willing to buy and reship to interested people?

Based on the average apple size, what sized bag would you need?  I do not think that a 3" bag will accomodate a full size, average apple, but will the poly bag stretch?

A triploid would require an even larger poly bag.

Advice?

The drawstring bag appears perfect.

Later,
Tom
