Preparing the land


The Corlans Estate started in September 2009 by clearing of unwanted vegetation, such as heavy undergrowth, and what was estimated to be unwanted trees.
The methodology was simple; clear and prepare the land in the dry season, normally January to the end of May, and plant from June to November, so that the plants can produce new roots before the next dry season.

 
     Primary methods of preparation are brush cutting and burning
