It’s definitely worth the trouble. I used this one 10’x10’ Insect Barrier Netting Bag with Zipper | Agfabric for my Carmine Jewel cherry this year and saw a huge difference. Put it on when the cherries are still green - no insects (especially the maggots of cherry flies), no birds, no chipmunks and all beautiful ready to eat dark red cherries in early June.
