Plant first, or Net first?
In considering this aspect, weigh up the cash flow issues associated with all your development being paid for in the first couple of years, against faster tree development under net, earlier maturity and volume of production etc. A general rule of thumb is that if your rows are going to be 3m or wider, you can retain the option to net later. On the other hand, if you can invest up-front, you will have larger returns sooner from your investment.

Do nets provide Frost Protection?
Frost-cloth can diminish the effect of frost in a number of ways, including capturing a pocket of warmer air and physically preventing ice from forming directly on or in plant tissues. Frost-cloth will not harm the plants if it remains on the plants for extended periods of time as it will provide a warm, light-filled and sheltered micro-climate for sensitive plants to flourish.
