Join us and other property managers to learn the best ways to tackle this weed.

An experienced weed controller will demonstrate methods of herbicide application to kill olive trees of different forms and ages. Methods will be provided for a range of situations, including sensitive natural vegetation areas and open grazing land. Demonstrations will include conventional applications of ‘drill and fill’, ‘cut and swab’ and ‘basal bark application’.
