We have just replaced the sticky band on our Vicky Plum. The ants were

Just a reminder, have you done yours?

Not yet, thanks for the reminder. it's the earwigs and wasps that
mainly damage our tree frut tho.


I have a very old victoria plum tree which still produces gorgeous plums
but how do you deter wasps from damaging the fruit? because of the wasps
there is always more waste than edible fruit.
