Simple systems to achieve orchard goals — Part IV: Simplifying older systems

May 2022 | Jason Shields | Future Orchards® video

Part IV of the Simple Systems series looks at established orchards and the practical challenge of making older tree systems easier to manage. Jason Shields focuses on simplifying canopy structure so orchard tasks can be performed more consistently and efficiently.

The session is relevant to growers who are not ready to redevelop a block but want to reduce complexity, improve access and bring an older canopy closer to the principles used in modern fruiting-wall systems.
