23rd July 2025 – Tree Change: Managing Canopies and Replacing Blocks Field Day
When: Wednesday July 23, 2025
Where: Summerland Farm 253 Wardell Rd, Alstonville NSW 2477
Description:
Older orchards are facing shrinking operational windows, lower yields, and trees that are difficult to manage. To sustain macadamia production in NSW, effective canopy management and options like block replacement need to be considered.
This field day will visit several local orchards, where growers will share their practical experiences and strategies and you will see mechanical limb removal in action.
A panel session after lunch will include growers who are removing old, unproductive blocks and planting new blocks.
The day will begin at Summerland Farm, with a bus trip to the orchard sites. Some walking is involved, so please dress for the weather and ensure your boots are clean for biosecurity.
Morning tea and lunch will be provided.
RSVP is essential for catering and organising buses.
Please RSVP by Friday, July 18, by emailing reception@marquis.com or contacting the Lismore Office at 02 6624 3900.
Please remember to provide the attendee’s names, numbers, and dietary requirements.
