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.

by the case(1000). The smallest size I saw was 3"x5". I don't
know anything about the company other than it came up when I did a Google
search for plastic drawstring
bags.http://www.saket.com/index.php/cPath/339 Tom Volkening Engineering Librarian Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824 Phone: 517-432-1498 Fax:
