I use a product called Bobbex. From a trial which seemed objective, it out-performed other deer repellant products. This product is recommended only for use on non-bearing trees, as it supposedly imparts an off-flavor to the fruit, which was actually a selling point for me. Anything that lasts s

Steven, I think your sign is a tasteful way to do it, and will probably work for most people. Just as different perspective, I've got a very small orchard (only about 300 peach trees and a few plums and apples) and I give away a lot fruit. I charge enough to be able to give away some to each cus
