For the block in Florida, the citrus varieties are Valquarius and Vernia. 12x4 spacing so 908 trees/acre. The rootstocks used were US-897 & UFR-06. Not sure if we'd go with those varieties and rootstocks if planted again. Probably use 942 rootstock. As for exporting crop, I would foresee this SHD type planting being used in juice oranges and not in fresh shipments to be exported. We just hedged (pruned) block last week using a standard citrus hedging machine. The block was originally planted in May 2018. We are the grower (landowner) in Florida (Lost Lake Groves), so I do not know if rough lemon root stock can be used in high density orchard. The rootstock we used was a dwarf tissue cultured SmartTree from Agromillora. Perhaps if there are other questions that need to be addressed, you can contact Agromillora's Florida's office for answers - Clay Pederson or Michael Kemp.
Isn't that bad for export though? I imagine the machine basically pulls the stem out of the orange and leaves a crater which would cause it to rot. Also it's not as appealing at the supermarket. You can break the stem without using clipers but you have to know how to break it which is what a lot of pickers do to fill up faster.
I love how connected you are to nature and the land
Tree density here 908 trees/ac. Spacing is 12 feet x 4 feet

I have a question, Is there a specific root stock where you can develop high density orchard or we can create one using rough lemon root stock?
Good question
@@onlykinnwo1425 I hope someone provides a response.
Its best to us a dwarfing or Semi-dwarfing rootsctock - there are many to choose from
You can use normal root stock but than you will have to be extra vigilant about pruning
nice video. how you do pruning pruning job in this narrow inter row distance, please share video
Yes, tree rows are hedged to about a meter wide
Valquarius and Vernia
Nice! What standard tree dimensions do you maintain?
For an SHD 14' x 4.5'
@@michaelkemp754114 Feet is height?
What is the idea width of the plant for SHD
4.5 ft x 14 ft. can vary depnds on field, irrigation and other factors

Currently this way of harvesting is for processing fruit (juice fruit)
For Fresh Fruit, this pedestrian hedge makes hand picking very efficient. The machine is for harvesting citrus that is destined for juice.
The cultivars grown are??
Valquarius and Vernia
Nice work pakistan
Nice
Good
