Liquid Fence works good for me but is expensive and needs to be re-applied after rain, dont spray the whole tree but just lower buds they can reach, small hand sprayer can do the job.

Refill every 3 months. Lead or fence is best. John Bruguiere Dickie Bros.

They don’t catch wind, and might be useful if they could be bought in larger size that could be pulled down over the whole tree. Mine are about 10 x 20 inches when flat. On single one-year-old branches that are making lateral shoots, they crowd the leaves over each other, limiting photosynthesis and bending shoot growth. I’ve not found a source of large bags.
