| If you don't net your tree there will be no cherries at all. The birds will eat them all before there is ever a mess. They are very fast and tidy! |

| MDO: I have 4 tart cherry trees. The minute they are 1/2 pink, This year I netted my North star and found one robin there After picking and pitting 15 quarts this year, I removed the net and left a few on the bottom of the tree for the birds. Not enough left to drag out the pitter for. That |
