I've got about a 4 year old peach, and a few blueberries.
Last year, the peaches mysteriously vanished one day, even though I had
sorta draped netting over them.
Is there an alternative, and when should I be ready for the assault?
Netting an 11' tree is no easy matter!
Also, I have some clusters of peaches, should I thin out the extras?

Possible deer problem. If so, netting will work used as a fence around
the tree. You want space between net and tree.
I've also seen fallen peaches eaten by groundhogs but never had a bird
problem when I had peach trees.
