Popadome Fruit Tree Cover (3.5m high)

We have lost severals crops of cherries to birds and fleece or netting held in place with clothes pegs did not work so when the popadome apperared we thought we would give it a try. It came well packed in its own case and the netting is substantial. Our problem is the tree is old quite large and definately not standard tree shaped and it also has a hedge very close. The popadome was finaly fitted over the tree and the cord tied around the trunk. The support pole does hold the dome away from the tree but it kept coming apart as we were manouvering the dome, we also have not used the ground pegs. The cherries are coming along nicely receiving good sunlight through the mesh. I just hope the wasps decide to stay outside.

The 2 nets were for 2 trees, a pear and a plum, the pear was simple if slightly tricky to fit as it was a lollipop type tree - the need to have 3 hands during the fit to hold it and pull the zipper closed was a challenge but the net size was OK The plum was slightly bigger and required a bit of surgery to fit the net and the closure at the bottom was difficult to get a seal (I padded it with some spare netting to get a better closure). The need to hold it and pull the zip was again a challenge. Sounds like a bad review but these are way better than the ad-hoc approach with nets and clothes pegs I used to have so I consider this a good buy

Covers great protection over the tree itself. Although within an hour a squirrel crawled through the gaps left on the grass. I had to use another 10 pegs to stop this. Hope this works and if so I'll be buying 2 more of these tree protectors. A 2 man job to put up. Wish they made larger ones too as this is only for small trees.
