The ‘back to basics’ is for anyone wanting to recap the basic information about the parts of the tree and growth habit.

The main field day will include an industry update, as well as a discussion on tree health management and canopy management. We will  update you on the current work being undertaken to further understand fruit staining in the region. Soil health is an important consideration in the way Peter and Jackie manage the orchard which will be discussed in light of some of the new soil health testing services becoming available.

Results from a recent phosphonate decay trial in the Bay of Plenty will be shared with discussion held on the overall management requirements to try maintain tree health.
