Pridham Viticulture takes a strategic, year-round approach to olive tree pruning, ensuring each tree thrives and produces quality olives season after season.
At Pridham Viticulture, we tailor each pruning session to the unique needs of your grove. Before beginning any work, we conduct a thorough evaluation of the grove, assessing tree health, structure, and overall conditions to create a pruning plan that aligns with your goals.
Winter pruning involves a rigorous, structural approach with larger cuts to shape the tree’s framework. This hard prune removes older, crowded branches, allowing the tree to focus energy on productive new growth and creating space for light and airflow.
In summer, we perform a canopy thinning to encourage sunlight distribution throughout the tree and to improve air circulation. This seasonal thinning helps reduce disease risk and prepares the tree for an extended harvest period, allowing fruit to ripen evenly.
With our expertise, each olive tree receives the right balance of pruning to enhance growth, longevity, and harvest quality, season after season.
