Just wondering why are the trees bagged? Is it to keep away pests or is it to keep away frost?

Good question for both of us. Let me ask some more knowledgeble people or the local people next time traveling through there.

just got the answer from my friend, Brian, and copy & paste as follows:

These are not plastic, but fine mesh, like screen door screen only finer and the trees are covered to protect against pests, mainly birds which can take a peck or two out of each cherry and then move on. They can destroy a whole trees crop in short order
