Haxnicks Fruit Tree Protector | Ultra Fine Insect Bird Bug Barrier | Mesh Netting Plant Cover | Fruit Trees Pear Apple Plum | 2m x 2m x 2m Tree010101, Green

The birds would steal my cherries every year, while the squirrels would feast on the hazel tree. However, this worked perfectly and kept them deterred! It wasn't easy to put up though, it was quite fiddly to get it up and over the tree (despite the video making it look really simple!). But, it was completely worth it. It has saved my garden and will hopefully last for years to come. I'd most definitely recommend this.

Pros Strong and able to fend off predators. Cons A bit too heavy for the branches so a few support stakes required.

Does a great job keeping the pesky birds from my fruit buds 👍👍 but the draw string broke immediately I pulled it. Bit naff I Chad some string to repair my brand new net...🤷‍♂️

Not too difficult to get over the tree but you have to make sure you close it tightly at the bottom so no wasps can get in. Hoping for a good crop of apples this year that haven't been bitten by birds or wasps

The net itself is good and, hopefully provides appropriate protection. BUT experience totally ruined by penny pinching. The fastening cord around the bottom is not one complete length - instead someone thought it was good to use several pieces (offcuts?) and tie them together. Unfortunately they had no idea how to tie a knot that joined two lengths together! Result - when tried to fasten the cord it came apart WITHIN the net itself and needed totally replacing. VERY Disappointed

This product has two fundamental flaws, firstly the mesh is too dense so it traps moisture causing fruit to rot. The second flaw is that for a product described as a tree protector it is actually too small, the product is better described as a fruit bush protector. Imho this product is a waste of money and someone would be better advised to buy large sections of fruit cage netting and create their own cage around a fruit tree.

Probably effective against squirells as they can't see the young apples now - if they really put their mind to it I'm sure they could gnaw their way through the net. Fingers crossed..

Easy to put on the tree but needs to be a bit bigger. Unfortunately I cannot find a bigger size. The tree still didn’t breathe well so a lot of fruit went mouldy but we managed to get about 5kg of cherries (we lost about the same amount) Green is more aesthetically pleasing than a white net curtain that I have used in the past!

I am a master gardener who does not want to get into the endless cycle of spraying chemicals on my fruit trees, but without protection insects, bacterial blights (from insects), birds, raccoons, etc. get all of my young fruit every year and shred the leaves. The solution is this netting put on ASAP after the fruit buds after the flowers have bloomed. This is exactly what I needed for my poor insect-harassed fruit trees in my garden. Hopefully got it on early enough this year to actually get the fruit this year - no critter thieves and no insects. The net does take two people to put it on the tree - even a five foot tree needs two people to raise the netting over the top branches. The long Velcro fastener will let me reach in and pick fruit without removing the netting. You do need to tie the bottom drawstring tightly at the base to keep squirrels etc. from climbing into the netting so check that regularly. The shipments for my netting got separated but the seller responded immediately and explained what happened. Such a nice response when so many sellers don’t have a way to communicate with you. Buy these and save hundreds of dollars on pesticides and insecticides.

Worked well on our pear tree but definitely need to trim the tree to make it work me. Took about an hour to put up for a single person to do including tree branch trimming. The string was able to stay tight for the whole summer and had no issues with it. Hopefully will last many more years.

We could not understand the instructions at all, even after watching a video. The concept is simple, but how to execute it is not clear. Nevertheless, we got the bags over some small cherry trees. The fabric seems strong, the velcro good, and the overall construction appears quality. I would expect several seasons if handled with care.

I purchased the smallest cover and it turned out to be much too heavy for my young plum tree, it broke many branches, to the point where I am going to have to carefully prune it back to health. Very disappointed.

Works great as protection for cold weather. 20 degrees or above
