I keep all the low branches off the floor by 6ft. So I can get under
without poking my eyes out.

Also so the squirrels cannot jump onto them.

I also wrap sheetmetal around the trunk to stop the squirrels
climbing the trunk. Not very attractive, but effective thou.

What a brilliant idea, I wish I had thought of that, but in the long run I
prefer to catch the buggers and dispose of them.
