This year will be the first chance to taste my Redlove Calypso and Redlove Era apples, with only 2 or three of each per tree. I'd rather be the one to taste them, not some stupid birds.
Last year I bought some organza gift bags, to see if individually bagging apples on the trees would prevent some insect damage. Some people claim that doesn't prevent bird damage. So, I sewed holographic scare tape to a couple of organza bags, and cut flaps so when the birds are looking at the bags and thinking "that stupid guy thinks those bags will keep us out", they will be distracted by the flashing moving lights. Last year, the scare tape helped a lot with blueberries and cherries.
