Reminder of pruning and tying down timeline

Growers are reminded that one of the requirements within the National Psa-V Pest Management Plan is that orchards are pruned and tied down by 1 October yearly. KVH is aware that this winter has been very challenging with more wet weather than usual and that pruning and tying down is still being completed on some orchards.

If an orchardist or orchard manager thinks they are unlikely to meet the 1 October timeframe, contact KVH so that we are aware of your situation and can discuss and agree a way forward.
