I've lost an entire harvest from mine, in a single night, to squirrels. In fact, I didn't get to taste a single peach from my tree, for the first 3 years we were here. Then, I managed to get 8, the 4th year. Last year, I think I managed to get 10, because I bagged them with whatever little bags I could find around the house. They go up, grab one, bring it down, or to another tree, take a bite, spit it out, throw the rest in the ground, and go back for another one. I've now wrapped my peaches in organza bags. I left the ones at the top of the tree, that I would struggle to harvest, but the bags keep them safe from the squirrels, worms, and other non-human peach lovers. They were less than $10/100 on the site that starts with 'A'. I'm going to put bags on some more, this week, because I'm hoping to surprise a family member or two, with peachy care packages, this year.
