I need recommendation for exclusion bags for Apples. If I don't bag them this month I'll lose them all to birds next month.

I use paper mushroom bags on my peaches. It's the only way I get to eat any. No reason it can't work for apples.

I did try nylon drawstring bags, which keep fruitfly away, but the birds see through those and still eat the fruit.

More likely the fruit will be stung by fruit fly first.

I'll try the bags thing. Ive got possums that ravage them. No doubt with nylon bags the birds still see them. Ive lost 600 apples the past couple of years, they ravage them to get to the seeds and juice. its an established tree. My worst problem is trying to get rid of the wooly aphids, soap spray isn't enough.

Full size exclusion nets over the entire tree is the best way.
