Luckily you can still get the old netting, even here in Victoria where they have tried to ban it. If you have pests such as possums or bats, its great to thin out or remove them entirely.
And before anyone cries, the neighbours and I have an agreement to not replant any medium to tall native trees in the area. Ours was the last tall gum, that finally fell in a storm. So now there is zero homes for bats and possums, so locally extinct and hope to keep it that way.
I wonder if bees fit trough the bird netting . I can confirm I have freed 2 birds out of bird netting and both were on the inside and NOT tangled. never seen anything tangled and dying. IMO the bird netting for farms gets checked less often so using bird safe netting is fair enough but the government should stay out of my back yard.

Beautiful spot Hannah, and great tips.
Another great segment Hannah! Im finding exclusion netting the way to go if I want to grow organic and get the most out of my efforts
Better to net after the bees have pollinated the flowers.
What a great place you have there! Must keep you busy eh? I’ve never seen that poly pipe in California. Could use that for my fig. All we have is pvc
Great tips, thank you! We need to do this for our lemon tree if it survives.
Wonderful appletree
Good to know, I’ve a dwarf apple in a pot.
I love this
Lovely Video
Timely. I went out to net the small cherry tree and the cherries were gone. They weren't even ripe yet.
I can't seem to find the nice white netting used in the video. Can anyone help me identify it and where to purchase.
Fruit bats especially get caught in the old netting.
Great way to get rid of them.
Save some uncover tree for animals the rest should be covered with fruit harvesting net

I'm glad you can still hear yourself just enough to realise you need to defend your choices here.
@@ShapezPuller64 no, just know there are way too many eco losers out there.

@@nickycrea6075 the bird safe netting doesn't let bees through, so the only option is too import if you have bird problems around flowering
