How do you keep squirrels out of fruit trees?

Create an aluminum 'skirt' around the trunk about 5-6' from the ground; this will hamper them from climbing the trunk of the tree.





Squirrels will leap from nearby high spots. Do the same to neighboring trees. If they have a jumping area from your roof, then you need to evaluate how to discontinue them from getting onto the roof as well.How do you keep squirrels out of fruit trees?

hang cd's from the limbs or set jugs of water at the base. either one of them create a reflection from the sun and something about the reflection scares them. or a dog that likes to hunt.
We have a similar problem as our home %26amp; property backs to a common area that has huge oak trees, many squirrels and occasionally red foxes. Besides the fruit trees, squirrels sometimes will sample tomatoes...





When fruit get larger, we try throwing over the fruit trees, black plastic bird netting and trying at the tree base bec my wife is convinced that squirrels don't want to risk getting their claws tangled in netting. My wife has even gone through the trouble of taking old aluminum wired gutter covers and wrapping fruit with it.





Hope the Info Helps and Best of Luck!
What if you tie something circular around the trunk. I'm thinking it should look like the cones that stop dogs from scratching. In the Navy we would tie something similar to that to the lines (ropes) going to the ship to stop rats. Hope this helps.
Just sit them down and give them a good stern talking to. That should do it.
They'll take the path of least resistance. I leave a supply of food for them away from the trees so they leave my trees alone.
