So here is a new thought, as I never run out of hare-brained ideas. This is a question for everyone else in the group. I am looking for a volunteer who has a few plums to spare. I would like to know the results of applying a triangular shaped paper that encloses a plum. The plum would be totally encased, but there would be a bit of air flow. I suspect this will impede any insect damage, but I am curious on how the fruit will come out. I have tried paper bags and been unhappy with the results. But I suspect that the air circulation was very poor. I now use this method on apples and I am very, very satisfied with the results, although I am still fine tuning it {I am simply using newsprint and strangely I find the colored non-glossy paper “seems” to work slightly better – I suspect it is smellier when wet}.
If anyone volunteers I shall send them set of .jpg s that detail how to apply the paper to make the triangle. Any volunteers? I simply do not have anything left to experiment with.
