Help me save my cherries

Help me save my cherries
We've had a cherry tree in the backyard for about 4 years, and this summer it actually has a decent amount of cherries on it. But I noticed today that lots of them have been eaten, presumably by birds Taz

Any suggestions for how I can keep the birds away??

Sorry for missing this!! You can head over to the nursery and pickup some half inch netting. The idea is to wrap a bit of the trunk and around the cherry bearing branches to keep the birds off. Once their all ready you can take off the netting and start your harvesting.

Ideally you add the netting right after the berries start colouring up a bit, but there's always next year. Cheesy Grin

The best way to get ahead is to get started.

Thanks Q. I think it's too late for this year, though Sad But I'll be ready for those stupid birds next year!!
