PRESERVING THE HERITAGE OF EACH OLIVE TREE
At Sun Plantes Viveros S.L., we give new life to century-old olive trees, respecting their history and the ecosystem around them. Each tree we cultivate carries on a unique legacy, combining tradition and future, and reflects our commitment to sustainability and excellence.
WHY ARE OLIVE TREES UPROOTED?
Uprooting olive trees is a delicate operation, carried out only when necessary and always in accordance with strict regulations.
AMONG THE MAIN REASONS, WE CAN HIGHLIGHT:
Decrease in productivity
Over time, some olive trees experience a decline in yield. Farmers then choose to replace them with more productive varieties better suited to modern irrigation systems.
Infrastructure development
The construction of roads, facilities, or other projects may require clearing land occupied by olive trees.
Subsidized agricultural diversification
In certain regions, olive trees are replaced by more profitable crops or those supported by agricultural subsidies.
Protection of natural heritage
Millennia-old olive trees are strictly protected by law. Their removal is heavily regulated and, in most cases, strictly prohibited.
COMMITMENT AND LEGALITY
At Sun Plantes Viveros S.L., every olive tree relocation is carried out responsibly and in strict compliance with regulations.
To proceed with uprooting or transferring an olive tree, it is mandatory to:
- Submit a request to the Chamber of Agriculture.
- Undergo a prior phytosanitary inspection, in accordance with current environmental legislation.
We ensure that each olive tree retains its historical and cultural value while adapting to its new environment. In this way, we help preserve this unique plant heritage and keep its legacy alive for future generations.
