Default Crocus squirrrel protection

Thinking of planting crocus for naturalising around a damson tree. I
believe squirrels find them a delicacy. If I plant the bulbs then bury
wire netting just below the surface would that protect them, and still
allow them to grow successfully? TIA


Should be OK.
You can dip the bulbs in paraffin as well. Apparently the squirrels en mice
don't like the smell !
