- Model: 5pk-fruit-sleeve
A 5pk of large double-ended fruit protection sleeves made from 2 mm weave.
A drawstring at each end anables you to position and secure the sleeve anywhere along a branch, and the large size ensures good coverage of fruit-heavy branches within a single sleeve.
This non-toxic netting excludes all insects including the dreaded fruit-fly and cabbage moth — as well as birds, mice, rats, bats, possums, wallabies, kangaroos, dogs, cats…
UV-stabilised, lightweight, reusable, breathable, and with a shade rating of 20%.
One very mild criticism I have with the sleeves — which I’ve not noticed with the small and large fruit protection bags is that sometimes one of the drawstrings is not positioned well. If not noticed in time you may lose one of the ends inside the seam and it’s a very fiddly procedure to feed it back through. I don’t bother, but pull the whole string out and secure the bag by wrapping the string around the outside as in the last photo.
Local pick-up is welcome — we’re in Gwynneville, near Wollongong University.
Pick-up is by mutual arrangement please, as we don’t have a shopfront.
Having said that, we are always here and more often than not can easily fit in with whichever day and time suits you best!
Feel free to suggest preferred pick-up time(s) in the comments box during checkout and we’ll reply as soon as we see the notification.
Especial Note Regarding Large Air-Pot® Orders
Depending on the order, we may suggest that large Air-Pot® orders are best sent directly to you from the warehouse.
Especial Note Regarding Jujube Trees
When posting out bare-rooted jujube trees, we routinely trim them to fit the box and keep postage costs to a minimum. These trees are typically knee-high when planted out, though some may be smaller.
This of course doesn’t apply for pick-ups, and in fact we will set aside the tallest trees specifically for this purpose. These trees can often be hip-high, and sometimes taller again.
Please note that this is not a guarantee, as heights of different cultivars can differ from year to year.
