| Beautiful MrsG. Is this an old photo? I cannot imagine you are just now picking them in Z7. I picked my Montmorency at least a month ago here in Z6. I don't know about RI, but here it's extremely difficult to beat the birds to them. Next year I'm going to net them. I love them in pies and cobblers! |

| Hi! I took the picture last month. I tented the entire tree. It was the only way to save the cherries. My orchard looks like fairyland right with my netted trees and berries. Aren't they delish! Mrs. G |

| That bird netting is kinda pricey. I found the black nylon/plastic netting on ebay pretty reasonable...is that what you are using MrsG? |
|
| Appleseed, no I use white mesh netting from Home Depot. It is about thirty feet by fifteen feet for thirteen dollars a roll. They call it white mesh netting. It slides over the tree and slides right off for folding and re-use. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow and post it on my peach post. Mrs. G PS the black netting is horrible! |

| Greetings: I ended up with 7.5 quarts (measured after pitting) this year on my North Star cherry. Lite crop partially due to I use the black ross bird netting on all of my cherry trees. I love the old Ross netting but not happy about their product they put out now.
