Re: Apple/Pear Pest Control

[Guest guest]

Let us know how well they work. I've been experimenting with covers for some

years on my disease-resistant apples, and have settled on plastic baggies. Plum

curculio (the spring weevil) is my big problem, and I have to get the covers on

very shortly after the apples begin developing. (Maggots are later season

problems.) I've tried some organdy and some nonwoven cloth bags, but neither

gave the protection that the plastic did.

It's too late for me to bag more fruit this year - the ones that didn't get

protected are already pretty badly damaged. But next year...
