About Orchard and Plantation Establishment
We set out and establish orchards of mango, avocado, citrus, passion fruit, coffee or banana and plantations such as timber trees, planting at the correct spacing with good seedlings and early water and weed management. Tree crops take years to mature, so choosing the right variety and site at the start is important.
What we do
- Site assessment and tree-crop suitability advice
- Land clearing, ploughing and pegging of planting positions
- Digging of planting holes and addition of manure or fertiliser
- Planting of seedlings sourced from reputable nurseries
- Mulching, staking and initial watering arrangements
- Establishment-stage care plan
What we need from you to quote
- Land location and acres available
- Crop or tree species and varieties wanted
- Soil, rainfall and altitude information
- Water source for the dry-season establishment period
- Where seedlings will be sourced
- Labour and ongoing management plan
