I've used reemay to cover grapes from the beetles with no damage to foliage.  A strong wind might do some damage - I put an occasional rope over the top to keep it from billowing.

The Japanese beetles are bad this year and are really chewing up the leaves on some young cherry trees.  I was considering knocking them off and then covering the trees with Reemay (floating row cover) and putting a band around the trunks to keep it closed.  These are one and two year old trees.  Is this a good idea?  I was a little concerned that the Reemay would damage the leaves from friction...
