Peaches being stolen from our trees by squirrels. any suggestions?

Question

we don't mind sharing. but would like to have a few for ourselves.

Answer 1

Get a peice of aluminum. You can use an old piece of tin or even the flat kind. Make it so that it's about 2 feet top to bottom and long enough to go around your tree. Simply wrap it around and secure it.

It will keep the squirrels and everything else out of the tree. Thats what we have to do with produce trees and with the pecan trees! they can't climb the metal so therefor they can't get up!  Good luck!

get a bb gun

Answer 3

I put bird netting around my peach tree and it kept the pesky squirrels and birds away. The tree is small though. I ordered it (the netting) through a local plant nursery.  

Answer 4

If the peaches are ripe or close to being rip, pick them now.  Else you'll also compete with the birds.  

I have four apple trees,a cherry tree, and white grape vines.  I lost the peach tree last year when it fell over during a storm.  We fight the birds, the deers, and the squirrels every year for the best choices.
