New development 2008

The west side of the current orchard is designated for the next expansion drive on the farm.


It is an area of about 20 hectares.


This area is flat with the same deep alluvial soils as the rest of the orchard.

There are some acacia trees that will have to be removed and some gullies will need filling near the river. The plan is that Bob Roux will be doing this development after he completes his
degree at the University of Cape Town in January 2008.
The first phase will be to remove the acacias. Second to fill the gullies and third to mark out and dig the trenches for the underground irrigation pipes.
Then the tree positions are marked out and the trees will be planted on August 2008
