Birds and yellow jackets

[Shuimitao]

Bob,

There’s an easy solution and it worked beautifully for me. You don’t need to put the net on the tree all season, just about 2-3 weeks before fruits fully ripen. The net is strong and heavy. It will bend some branches but not bad. It’s fairy easy (much easier than bird net) for one person to put it on the tree (about 10 minutes) but 2 people with long pole would be ideal (less than 10 minutes).

Protecting almost ripe peaches from japanese beetles

It takes about 10 minutes for 2 people to put it up on the tree with long rods. Or you can buy smaller size insect barrier bags to cover only branches. That’s how I was able to harvest 30 lbs tree ripened Saturn peach this year, which is a Japanese beetle magnet.
