Are they yummy Zoa?
Yes
How Yummy?
Really Yummy
So if you want to grow fruit like this in your home garden.
We have got this in an exclusion orchard and Loquats
can be prone to fruit fly and birds love them, bats love them
So they can also seed around in the bush so what you
need is a fruit fly exclusion net and what this does is it
stops the fruit fly from infecting your fruit and it also
means that your the one that is going to be eating
all this fruit so if you wanna be picking and eating
beautiful fruits like this it's a good idea to get yourself
a fruit fly exclusion net and net your tree.
So you can keep your tree compact by cincturing and
by pruning so when this tree finishes cropping
we're going to cut it back hard.
We will actually reduce the size of this tree by about
half and let it regrow.

Guinea Fowl for Organic Fruit Trees in Exclusion Orchard

Our Guinea Fowl family has been a positive addition to our Exclusion Orchard environment. All 7 chicks were hatched in the orchard 6 weeks ago and have been self sufficient by eating any bugs, weeds, fallen fruit etc. So far they don't seem to eat any fruit off the trees. Has anyone had any problems with them in their orchard?

Exclusion Orchard

Define Exclusion Orchard: A fully netted orchard where fruit trees can be grown without fruit fly, bats and other pests from damaging the fruit.

Exclusion Orchard

2014 is going to be a memorable year for us all at Daley's Nursery as this is the year that
we started to reap the rewards from our exclusion orchard.  Since the netting went up around our favourite fruits we can now pick and eat them without any fear of finding grubs and savour the full flavours of freshly picked, tree ripen fruits. We started the year with the best mango season in recent memory which has been closely followed by a bumper fig crop, it is hard to decide which has been a more enjoyable experience.
If you are considering a mini exclusion orchard there are a few important things to remember, firstly you will need to have pollinators inside your exclusion zone.  We have installed a native bee hive within the orchard and the tiny stingless bees are hard at work on warm sunny days working our flowers and pollinating the fruit for us.  We also have a pair of guinea fowls whose job is to clean up any stray unwanted insects that may happen to enter the orchard. They have raised their first brood of 7 chicks and we are feeling very proud of our success with these shy but interesting birds.

And secondly pruning is vital to keep all the trees compact, away from the netting and to keep all those delicious fruits within reach.
If you have an exclusion orchard installed at your place we would love to hear from youabout what you grow within and how successful it has been for you and if you are considering a mini exclusion orchard we would also be interested to hear what your plan is.
