What a great idea !!! Looking to protect your baby or maturing fruit from pests and diseases, including apple maggots and coddling moth? These "orchard sox" are a natural insect barrier to help prevent pests from laying their eggs under your fruit's skin. Basically, they are little nylon “sox” to protect the valuable fruit on your trees, keeping them blemish and (relatively) pest free. Cut them to various dimensions, or use full size.
Love the idea of growing fruit for your own family's enjoyment? You can learn all the basics from Susan Poizner's excellent foundational book "Growing Urban Orchards", also available on our site.
