I have a little cherry tree that only has enough fruit set on it for a small bowl of cherries. The birds have already pecked little holes in a few, even though they are still green, and I don't want to lose any more to them or I won't even find out what they taste like.
What's the method for netting a tree? Should I cover the lot in a net or should I just wrap the bits with cherries on with some netting? Is there a danger the birds will just treat this a handy perch? The other I'm considering doing is wrapping the cherries in fleece so that they can't see them.
Thanks in anticipation.
