Hey Pug! love the protection you put on your mangoes, and just what I need. Where did you get those? almost look like containers you would find when buying something at a deli!
Monster size clamshells can be had at Sam's Club, the lettuce mix. You can get 2 normal size mangoes or a good sized Springfel, Hatcher, or Kiett and still get the clamshell closed using duct tape to secure it.
Does anyone else have any fruiting/mature Keitt pics?
Front yard Keitts are as big as backyard Keitts. This clam shell thing is getting blown out of proportion. Its all relevant to tree size and number of fruit...if your 30 foit tree has 200+ fruit, you realky going to try snd clam shell even one of them? While using them may h ave bbeneficial protection from birds and squirrels, it also can hsve non beneficial results, IMO.
The clam shells work very well except against raccoons. I have stock piled hundreds of them. Please don't ask how many I have actually applied to to my trees. Let's just say the box they are stored in located in my garage is not being attacked at all. This is probably not due to the clam shells though. I do have them just in case though.
