Growing More Fruit with The Tatura
With various trellising methods available, growers must choose a structure that will most effectively sustain their crops while also maximizing their return on investment.
The Tatura trellising system is a contemporary, V-shaped, high-density trellising system in which stone fruit trees are planted at a higher density than traditional and vertical trellising methods. This technique optimizes space, encourages fruit production, and improves fruit quality.
This trellising technique works best with dwarf and semi-dwarf trees and is typically used on stone fruit trees like peaches, apples, plums, citrus, and cherries.
There are several reasons why the Tatura is highly beneficial to growers. Let’s break it down.
Maximizes Space
The Tatura enables higher plantings per acre, resulting in lower unit costs and increased fruit output.Higher Yields
While it is obvious that more trees equal more fruit, the Tatura system also promotes more fruit production by allowing an optimal amount of light interception and airflow, giving orchards more energy for fruit production.Easy and Safe Installation
The Tatura trellis can be assembled at ground level, eliminating the need for ladders, lowering personnel risk, and simplifying installation and repairs.Reduced Labor Costs
Tatura trellis systems offer convenient access to branches and fruit, thereby cutting down on the time required for pruning and harvesting. This reduces labor costs by 10% to 20%.
All in all, the Tatura is a trellising system that is extremely beneficial to growers because it allows for superior and greater fruit production while saving time and labor costs.
