Before Management
After Management
San Felipe Olive Co. has found a need and demand for Olive Orchard Management and Consultation. Many times orchards have been planted without sound agricultural principles or a plan for the future. We are able to help our customers from field design, preparation and planting, through proper orchard management as the trees mature to assure the maximum production of olives.
We can advise on proper agricultural practice or offer complete management and maintenance of the following:
- Land evaluation and orchard layout
- Land preparation for orchard planting
- Irrigation design, installation and scheduling
- Selection of olive tree varieties to suit climate and conditions
- Planting of olive trees
- Weed and pest control
- Pruning of young and mature trees
- Olive harvest
- Milling of olives for olive oil
It is important to understand that how you treat your olive orchard now will determine its productivity in the future. Olive trees have peculiarities to all of the issues listed above that set them apart from other fruit. So, it is important to get started right and maintain good agricultural practice for olive trees as they mature. Remember, olive trees are very hardy and can survive a lot of abuse when mature, but that doesn't mean they will produce olives to their maximum capability.
An Olive Orchard is a large, long term investment that we don't want to squander. Give us a call and we will be glad to talk with you about a program of consultation or management to suit your needs and assure success with your olive orchard.
