Abstract
Hedgerowing to optimise orchard tree density and mechanical root pruning to reduce vigour of recently rejuvenated avocado trees was carried out at Westfalia Estate. Hedgerowing was more promising in a drier, less optimal growing environment at Mooketsi, and less so in a warm moist environment. Root pruning of avocado trees was expensive and had no desirable effect on rejuvenated tree vigour.
