Dang Barry ! 20k is a lot of trees !!! How many acres is that place ?
Do raccoons bother the olives like they do in other fruit or pecan orchards ?
Not had any issues with coons there. Hogs played hell with the drip irrigation system for a few years, but I guess I killed 'em all... Even at a place where I had a feeder and blind, I never saw one hog last year. I'm sure they'll come back though.
There is 60k trees planted out there. Drainage issues holding too much water decimated a bunch of them. The deep freeze of 2021 burnt a lot more back really bad.
The 20k trees I mentioned is those up to 15' in height, and prime for harvest and sale. I have that many more I'll prune and sell as shrub type ornamentals. Those should bring between $150 and $300 wholesale.
