In this video, Cherry Growers Australia Inc. delves into the innovative Pergola Training System, a fascinating technique revolutionising cherry cultivation. Join them as they explore this new approach, recently witnessed during a visit to the cherry growers in Chile. Discover firsthand insights into the Pergola Training System, a method garnering attention for its potential to redefine orchard management.
Highlights include; the method's unique ability to encourage perpetual youth in trees, fostering robust fruiting spurs and vigorous replacement branches for sustained productivity. Witness how the system promotes early fruit production, optimal fruit quality, and a host of additional benefits such as enhanced shade, bird protection, uniform flowering, and streamlined harvesting.
Moreover, learn how Pergola orchards offer unparalleled efficiency, with all fruits conveniently exposed for picking under shaded canopies, facilitating seamless operations and potentially achieving remarkable yields of up to 300kg per day.
