I have one tree with window screen and a foam collar. The foam is just a bit of stray packing material that I tucked between the screen and the bark, so I could pull the screen up tight at the top without cutting into the bark.

Since my orchard is also 6 years old you got me wondering - so I went to Google, clicked on 'Images' and typed in - Apple Borers

there is one fair picture of an infected tree
I have window screen but no foam collars, how do you hold the collars in place?

As a beginning apple grower in New England, with a small orchard of
&gt;dwarf trees, what do I need to know about apple borers? I have put
&gt;up window screen cylinders with foam collars to keep borers out, and
&gt;I am willing to scout the trees regularly. However, I don't know
&gt;how big a hole I should be looking for. Any one have any
&gt;recommendations for how to deter and how to recognize borer damage
&gt;in apples?
