Default squirrels and netting

Does netting really stop squirrels? It seems to me that they would
just chew thru it. I'm thinking of taking out my peach trees because
the squirrels like their peaches much greener than I do. They nibble
a bit, then drop the peach to the ground for the bunnies.

Yes it does. This is the first year I've used the netting and we
harvested all the peaches ourselves for the first time. Get 3/4 inch
netting, anything smaller is a PITA and anything bigger the tree rats
can go through.
