SUPER-HIGH-DENSITY OLIVE ORCHARD: REFORM PRUNING, PRODUCTIVE RECOVERY AND STRUCTURAL CHOICES

The video documents a reform pruning intervention carried out in a super-high-density olive orchard located in the province of Foggia, near Stornarella, illustrated by agronomist Vito Vitelli.

It explains how incorrect initial orchard management made a radical reform pruning necessary in 2022 on trees trained in a bush-wall system. Despite the severity of the intervention, the applied technique led to significant productive recovery, with abundant fruiting already from the second year.

The video highlights that super-high-density olive orchards can be long-lived and re-formable. While acknowledging the recovery potential of the bush wall, the agronomist expresses a technical preference for the single-axis system, considered more balanced vegetatively and more sustainable in the medium to long term.

The importance of carrying out pruning during the spring phase and preserving Italian olive varietal heritage even in high-density systems is also emphasized.
