I have been using these bags for years. I have 100s in all different sizes. Sometimes they help and sometimes I find them on the floor. Unfortunately here in Florida we have everything except deer (so far). We have raccoons and squirrels plus the birds and rats, etc. Raccoons are very smart and they're here every night. Since my trees are not really big yet I even bought an entire cover to put over the entire tree. Those really work well. I even have smaller covers for my blueberry bushes. Thank goodness they don't eat sny of my citrus. It's a challenge! Florida Gardener Zone 9a
Eaten the day before harvest? Ours start getting eaten when they're like marbles. We've spent a small fortune building structures to keep out the pests, mainly Possums, so I will be investing in some of these to protect some of our other trees.
Yes, lost all our apricots last year to fruit fly. This year was a bit better, as the apricots ripened early, but they still got into a lot of them., despite a few traps.
Might want to check your website dude. Says there's 7 available but when it gets to checkout it says not available to ship. Fruit unprotected and missus cranky.

Vasili, where can you buy the protection sleeves ? Bunnings ??
I have a 2.5m espalier apricot tree which took me 8 years to shape.
Possums ate all of the leaves two years ago and killed the tree. 😢
I know your pain
where can you buy those long net bags? I'm in WA but bunnings only stocks the small bags.
Have you looked on Vasilis website?
Hi I had to pull all the fruit off my trees earlier this year after fruit fly strike, have you had this problem before in Victoria?

Covered pink lady apples. Trouble is now something nibbling away at just the skin. Ain't snails (snail bait).
Sorry that was me. I was a bit hungry

The branches aren't uniform, so the bags are not useful....and take ages, not to mention the hell putting them on and off.
