Subject: [NAFEX] Squirrels & peaches?

Hello,
If you were trying to protect an isolated peach (no trees nearby), would
it be posible to protect it from squirrles?
I do not know how far a squirrel can jump up off the ground, but if the
trunk was protected and the branches high enough, could the fruit be
protected?
Possibly high branches, and metal duct work around the truck 4' high may
make it difficult for them to get into the tree?
It would only be necsarry during ripening.
You may be able to protect an isolated tree. Anyone tired similar?
