Shelter from wind

My back garden is somewhat exposed to the elements as there is a small field outsided of the back fence (for kids to play on) and over to the left are bigger fields .... I have two small apple trees in my garden and at the moment we are getting some gale force winds here. They are just starting to blossom but I have visions of all this blossom disappearing with the wind ... is there anything I can do, or buy, to try and save this happening .... these are just small trees but I did manage to get a few apples last year and was looking forward to some more this year !

Hi Val,

I was looking for the stuff nurseries use, a thick polythene with slots cut out to reduce the wind pressure but all I found was this.

South West Horticultural Supplies | Polytunnel Covers | Windbreak Netting

Does the same job.

 

Get some Enviromesh Val, that should do the trick. Or fleece from the local garden centre come to that.

 

Good advice - thanks mates .... going to the garden centre this morning (weekly meet up with friend for coffee and cake !!) so will check out that stuff
