Kootenay Covers Overview

How Kootenay Covers Work
You spread the cover over the tree after pollination is complete, but before the pests arrive in the spring. The fine mesh stops the bugs from laying their eggs on the young growing fruit. No caterpillars or maggots infest your fruit. At harvest time you open the cover and harvest your fruit.

How do I put them on my trees?
You and several friends lift the cover with four poles over the top of the tree and let it down. The cover rests on the tree. You collect the bottom of the cover around the trunk of the tree. You tie the cover tightly around the trunk with a piece of rope. At harvest time, you open up the bottom of the cover and pick your fruit.

Do I need to prepare my trees?
You prune the tree for use with the cover the same way you would prune it if you were going to spray. You want to be able to reach the fruit safely and easily. Depending on the type and variety of tree, and your past pruning practices, your tree may need just a little pruning or maybe a lot. If your tree(s) has not been pruned for a very long time you may need to give it a major pruning. Bringing an older unmanaged tree back into production can be very much worth the effort.
