How to Install a Fruit Tree Net
For ease of installation, ensure the tree is kept well pruned.
The fruit tree net should be installed early in the season when fruit is forming.
It may also be beneficial to install a fruit tree net before the height of Summer as the netting offers some shade protection for the tree.
To install this fruit tree net, simply drape over the tree and secure around the trunk to prevent birds or insects from getting inside the fruit tree netting.
Note: Installed correctly, this fruit tree net will not injure birds, possums and flying foxes – it complies with Victoria’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (POCTA) as the mesh size is less than 5mm at full stretch.
