Default [IBC] protecting trees from cicada damage

I can just imagine Nina's trees siting on a shelf in
their net baggies. Did you use colored ribbon to tie
them? Glad they are safe.

How about Carl's famous soap solution ?

Still worried about my bonsai !!


A personal observation about cicadas: they are
zombies. They have no survival instincts. So don't
expect them to leave a tree just because you sprayed
it. Remember, they don't really eat, and when they
go to lay their eggs, the wrong "end" is involved.
So protectant sprays aren't going to work.

I bought 20 yards of netting for 0.50/yd. You can't
beat it.
