Protective Foliage 



Protection from birds and from the elements is a very 

 important item with many fruits, notably the cherries, but in- 

 cluding also many plums. This picture illustrates how vigorous 

 foliage may give a large measure of protection to a clus- 

 ter of plums. This picture was taken from above.
