Field day: Katikati, 19 June 2024

NZ Avocado invites you to join us on Maria and Andrew Watchorn’s orchard to discuss how we can prune trees and shelter to maximise packouts and improve orchard efficiency.  Wednesday, 19 June 2024 from 10.00am – 12.00pm at 121 Walker Rd East, Katikati.

Andrew and Maria’s orchard (along with others on Walker Rd East) benefit from substantial North Western shelter trees. Come along to discuss the pros and cons of shelter and how it can improve your orchard resilience and packouts.

Pruning has been recently carried out on the property with some changes to tree spacing in some areas and mulching practices to be more efficient.

We hope to have a collective discussion on how growers are changing or modifying their orchard management to reduce costs and improve efficiencies on orchard.
