HOW TO BAG A FRUIT

1. Blow in the bag to inflate it.

2. Place the fruit in the bag and firmly tie top end of bag with string or tie wire. Bag immature fruits not yet infested with larvae, but do not bag very young fruits.

3. Push the bottom of bag upwards to make it "v"-shaped. This prevents damage by rain and keeps the bag inflated, and keeps the fruit away from the sides of the bag.
