How do I keep the King Parrots off my Almond tree?

    2 responses

farmplantsandseeds@gmail.com starts with ...
Usually I would just net, but my Almond tree is getting really big and it is too tall to cover.
(In winter I put some star pickets and PVC poly over them to hold the netting and 2” poly for the top loop (((you can see in the photo my 6ft ladder on the left corner, so it is really a tall tree now, and goodness knows how I managed to get the poly up there!!))) , but the loop fell off in the wind. And if I put some netting from post to post, the top of the tree is still exposed and those King Parrots will eat every single almond.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I guess pruning will have to do, at least I will get maybe a third of the fruits that way. Thanks for the input.
