Olive pruning

Did you know that Petar is a multiple‑time national champion in olive tree pruning?

Yes — really! And the awards speak for themselves. 

Pruning olive trees is far more than cutting branches. It’s a skilled, thoughtful practice that plays a crucial role in keeping trees healthy, balanced, and productive. Proper pruning improves airflow and sunlight penetration, reduces disease pressure, and supports strong, consistent fruiting. 

It also helps maintain the tree’s natural shape, encourages fresh new growth, and keeps pests from taking hold. 

At Rikato, we approach every tree with respect, knowledge, and decades of experience, ensuring your grove stays beautiful, vibrant, and ready to thrive for seasons to come.
