i've recently discovered a cherry tree in the garden.how do i stop the birds eating the cherries before me??

get a net over it is the best way.keep it pruned so the cherries are in reach to be easier to put the net over it to.

The only other thing I've seen apparently working, is to hang a very realistic model of a hawk in the tree. Our neighbour has a model owl which seems to work! Though I've never tried it myself.
Netting is the only real solution.

worth nowing thanx for that bertie

THANKS FOR THE HELP, I AM VERY NEW TO THIS

your welcome anytime.not sure i can always help but ill always try unless someone as often happens beats me to it or ofcourse which is more than likely i dont know lol
