What’s Included:
- Audit 1: Mid-Winter Dormancy (January)
Delivery of your primary Winter Pruning Structural Blueprint. We perform an initial screening for overwintering fungal spores and dormant pests while the canopy is clear.
- Audit 2: Late-Winter Bud Break (February)
Tracking chill-hour completion, verifying late-winter soil moisture levels, and setting the precise timing for the initial spring feeding flush.
- Audit 3: Early-Spring Bloom & Set (April)
Real-time monitoring of fruit set. Delivery of your custom Fruit-Thinning Map to prevent limb breakage and ensure maximum sugar distribution to the remaining fruit.
- Audit 4: Late-Spring Flush & Salinity Audit (May)
A full soil and water salinity audit to catch Southern California salt buildup before summer hits. Delivery of the Spring Pruning Blueprint to manage aggressive vegetative growth.
- Audit 5: Early-Summer Canopy Guard (July)
Adjusting precision irrigation schedules for peak heat. Application of heat stress management strategies and checking trunk and bark surfaces for sunscald protection.
- Audit 6: Late-Summer Balance Check (August)
Crucial for multi-grafted or high-density groupings. We map out the Summer Size-Control Pruning instructions to ensure dominant varieties don't choke out slower-growing fruits.
- Audit 7: Early-Autumn Harvest Recovery (September)
Evaluating late-season pests and designing the exact post-harvest nutrient recovery protocol to rebuild tree energy reserves before dormancy.
- Audit 8: Late-Autumn Soil & Root Conditioning (November)
Preparing the orchard floor and soil biome for winter rains, checking structural integrity against winter winds, and mapping frost-protection strategies for sub-tropical varieties.
Included Premium Features:
- The Gardener Mandate: Affluent properties often rely on weekly maintenance crews who may lack specialized pomology training. Your report includes a highly visual checklist written specifically for your weekly gardening service, telling them exactly what to do, what not to touch, and how to adjust watering timers.
- Priority Estimate Routing: If a disease breakout or urgent structural need is identified during an audit, your property automatically bypasses our standard service queue for immediate, priority line-item estimating.
- Continuous Soil Salinity & Nutrient Tracking: Ongoing monitoring of local water impact on your root zones across the entire year.
Following each of the 8 visits, you will receive an updated "Tree Health Grade" Report and Checklist. This acts as a living document for your landscape, tracking the exact lifecycle progress of your orchard every 6 weeks so you always know what to expect next.
