The Gardening Naturally Fruit Tree Netting Bag is an essential tool for home orchardists and gardeners looking to safeguard their harvests from common pests like aphids, codling moths, and apple maggots. This protective solution is perfect for protecting compact trees or specific branches while ensuring that vital sunlight, water, and air can still reach the developing fruit. While the netting provides an excellent barrier against insects and birds, users should note that its small size of 1.2m by 2m is specifically designed for localized protection rather than covering full-sized, mature fruit trees.

This small variant is designed for compact trees or individual branches. For larger trees, you would need to use multiple bags on specific fruit-bearing branches.
Yes, if the netting is applied during the flowering stage, it will prevent bees from pollinating the tree. It is best to apply the netting after the fruit has set.
With proper care—cleaning and storing away from direct sunlight when not in use—the netting can last through several growing seasons.
Yes, the mesh is designed for outdoor use and is resistant to degradation from sunlight for the duration of the growing season.
The netting is primarily designed for insects and birds. While it may discourage some wildlife, it is not a heavy-duty solution for persistent squirrels.
Ensure that the branches are gently bundled together and that no leaves or twigs are caught in the track of the zipper.
Always inspect the tree for existing pests or larvae before applying the bag; once clear, seal the bag immediately to maintain a sterile environment.
To install, gently gather the branches you intend to protect and slide the netting bag over the area, ensuring the zip is fully accessible. Once in position, close the zipper carefully, checking to make sure no leaves are caught in the teeth of the zip. For the best longevity, remove the bags once the harvest season is complete. Clean the netting by gently shaking or rinsing with water to remove debris, then allow it to dry completely in a shaded area before storing it in a cool, dry place. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these may damage the integrity of the 0.8mm mesh.
