A walnut harvest in six years, not twenty

Seed-planted walnuts in Central Europe normally take 15 to 20 years to give their first yield. Planted with ARBORAPID™, they produced their first yield in the sixth year.

The technology speeds up the whole growth cycle, and trees branch more strongly. The only extra work compared with a conventional orchard is more frequent pruning.

Adding PlantGuard Forest & Orchard feeds the trees through the leaf and acts as foliar irrigation during dry periods.

Turnkey from design to first harvest

Walnut projects are delivered the same way as every ARBORAPID™ project: design, careful selection of planting material, field works and supervision until the plantation is established.
