OLIVE TREE CONSULTATION SERVICES

Please note: Consultations have been temporarily suspended for this season. If you require further guidance please contact your local County Agricultural Extension Office: https://ucanr.edu/sites/ucanr/County_Offices/

We offer consultations on various aspects of olive orchard establishment and management, including planning, planting, pruning, fertilizing, watering, and harvesting. We are available for on-site property evaluations and meetings at McEvoy Ranch, working on both large and small-scale projects. Phone consultations are also available when travel is prohibitive.
