I have been covering my Northstar and Meteor cherries with netting as it is 
the only way to get any ripe cherries at all, but we had to sew together 
narrow strips of netting, and it is barely big enough to cover 10 foot tall 
trees.  
What will you use for netting to cover a 15 ft tall tree?  I have asked about 
netting before but haven't found anything big enough that I can afford.
Still looking for bird netting more than 30 ft wide and long.
