Orange trees intercropped with legumes - Increasing income from your orange orchard

Why intercropping?

Market-focused farmers manage orange tree (Citrus sinensis) varieties by pollarding and crafting. This procedure can take up to 15 years for the tree to reach maturity and attain maximum fruit yields. In the meantime, farmers can take advantage of the wide and open space created by the pollarding, to produce a variety of vegetables and raise a further income to supplement that earned from the orange trees.

"The Heather-Farm": From an Old Tradition to Sustainable Modern Agriculture in France

The Heather-Farm is an estate in Limousin in Central France. According to old documents and pictures, after the clearing of large forest areas in the Middle Ages, there were not many trees in the hilly landscape of that region until the 18th century.

The effectiveness of a mesh tree guard in protecting individual trees from wildlife damage depends not only on careful selection of the device itself and the stakes supporting it, but also on the care taken during installation.
