Hi all! Per suggestions from this list, I now have bolts of tulle (thanks Nate!) and organza bags. Please help me with the timing of wrapping dwarf cherries and peaches.
I know I wrap the whole cherry tree ( dwarf, so ok), but when? We have plum c. here in VA, zone 6b. After petal drop?
Peaches--should I wrap the whole tree (again dwarfs) or the individual fruit after thinning? Again, after petal drop?
My biggest peach pests are squirrels (and a dumb rabbit occasionally)--would this affect the wrapping the whole tree or individual fruit decision? The squirrels chewed through the bird netting last year and I even have 2 sacrificial peach trees that I leave untouched for them. Greedy buggers.
Thanks for all of your help and wonderful suggestions!! Barbara Harrick
