Oof… those little maples are a pain… for my planters, I buy one of those cheap little mosquito net boxes and set over them to keep that stuff out while they’re falling.

I am 0/1 in trying to grow trees in pots lol so I’m with you.

Definitely high on my agenda. That and keep the squirrels away.

Squirrels, you’ll have to beef it up… they’ll eat those nets like nothing. Your best bet for squirrels is a deterrent of some kind, keep them away entirely instead of just trying to keep them out.

I use a big ass trebuchet baited with nuts to keep the squirrels at least three hundred meters away.

Trying to grow cayenne, to get rid of squirrels so that I can have cayenne. Dang, squirrels are cat-league when it comes to black hand tactics.
