Hey /diy/
Any ideas how I can keep squirrels and birds off my peach tree? I don't have any wire mesh or anything.

Another angle for reference.

Very difficult. For birds, maybe some cardboard cutouts of prey birds on stick around the tree would help.
I have no idea what do you have against squirrels, though. I'm pretty sure they don't eat peach.

That's a good idea, hopefully that'll keep them away. As for the squirrels, yes, they do eat peach. I've seen the little suckers run up to the tree and start nibbling them until I shoo them away.

Get a cat. My cat fucking murders squirrels. If there was a squirrel war crimes tirbune, my cat would have been hung for the squirrel holocaust of 2016

Ajajaja, thank you that made me lol. Been considering it for some time, but now that you say that I might consider adopting one this week.

I grew up in the tropics and all the coconut trees have a metal band around the trunk. This is so rats can't climb up and eat the coconuts. Maybe try that? I'd also trim or tie the tree back so a squirrel couldn't jump from your roof to the three.
I also agree with poster about the predator bird idea

You're spot on about the squirrels jumping from the roof to the tree. I've been considering spraying cat/dog pee on the roof to spook them. I'll try trimming it back too, thanks!

don't trim to much, tree go into shock when you trim them. Might cause lack of fruit?
