Denise I have peach trees and have the same issue. in spring when flowering I purchase bird netting from either place (Home Depot, or Lowes) I have to have help throwing the net over the tree. Bundle up the bottom edge (around the trunk) use small zip ties to secure.
You may get a few little limbs that grow thru the net. don't worry.
