Trialling growing avocados on wire: Katikati, 6 December 2022

Come and learn about different production systems for growing avocados. NZ Avocado invites you to join us on Frank and Coryl Baggenstos’ orchard to look at some trials of growing avocado trees on wire on Tuesday, 6 December 2022 from 1.00pm – 3.00pm at 21b Hayward Rd, Whakamarama.

Growers are not short of challenges at the moment, with many looking at how things can be done differently to help overcome some of these challenges. Frank has been trialing different canopy management approaches over a number of years and is keen to share what he’s learned and demonstrate his current trials.

Growing systems that will discussed include:

• Standard 2 tier espalier
• Espalier onto a pergola structure
• Espalier with alternating ‘V’ed vertical trucks (Frank’s preferred system)

Attendance numbers will be limited so register now.
