Eco Ranchos Central Valley Nursery
Eco Ranchos’ partnership with Green Tree Nursery is a key element of our business and has many advantages, including:
- 44 years of experience growing fruit, nut and ornamental trees
- Excellent soil, water, and regional climate
- Fully integrated pest management practices
- Extremely low use of herbicides. Weeds, flowers, grass create less dust and provides habitat for predator insects
- One of the industry’s leaders in area for using the “LEAST” amount of required pesticides
- One of the few nurseries in region to use extensive erosion control practices keeping runoff sediment out of neighboring creeks and rivers
- Rotation of nursery blocks in and out of production to allow the soil to rest up to 3yrs, thus not only preventing depletion of key nutrients in soil but allowing periodic renewal of soil nutrients
- Full cover crop program with a special blend of barley, oats, and legumes to keep organic matter and microbial activity at optimum levels
- Fully state certified virus tested rootstocks and mother blocks
