Every year I see my fruit-bearing trees start out with lots of fruits budding from the branches, but by the time they fully ripen there’s only a few left. I now realize squirrels and other rodents keep stealing them.
What are my options in keeping vermin from snatching my apples, plums and peaches?
Welcome to Apple Trees, this site is fanatical about anything to do with apples and apple trees. Our fanaticism started when we planted our dwarf apple tree in our small back garden. Gradually, this became an obsession and to cut a long story short, we bought some land and started our own orchard.
To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!
You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.

I find that those small brown paper bags work very well. It takes some effort but you will save most of the fruit you use them on. To hold them in place snap a small rubber band around the bottom of the bag. For a more expensive remedy you can purchase those owls that look real and perch them in the trees. Some dogs will run those creatures off. I have a Jack Russell that will challenge anything that comes close to the yard.

with difficulty.
APPLE TREESPutting plastic bags around each fruit may work. And it is a lot of work.
consider also putting a large net over your tree. it’s a hassle, too.
At OSH, I saw some different kinds of plastic figures which might scare away birds and such.

The trick I’ve seen used successfully is to fix a plastic sandwich bag around each fruit. Cut off a corner at the bottom so rain water and moisture can drain out. You may need to staple the bag to make if stay in place. And yes, it does look silly.
