Bamboo Stake 900mm x 8/10mm (Bundle of 500)

Prices are EX WORKS - Melbourne, VIC. Delivery calculated separately based on freight and volume.

High-quality Bamboo Stakes designed for structural support in landcare, revegetation, and agricultural projects. These stakes provide a natural, cost-effective method for securing tree guards and supporting young saplings during critical growth stages.

Functional Application & Durability

These 900mm stakes are specifically sized for use with standard tree guards, typically requiring 3 stakes per guard to ensure stability against wind and environmental pressure. Their 8-10mm diameter offers the necessary rigidity to protect planted crops from livestock, rabbits, and possums while remaining flexible enough to withstand varying weather conditions.

Constructed from natural bamboo, these stakes are an environmentally conscious choice for large-scale planting. They are lightweight for easy transport across field sites but provide high tensile strength once driven into the ground.

Technical Support: For bulk volume inquiries or specific project requirements, please reach out to our team via our Contact Page.

5 Factors to Consider when establishing an Olive Grove

Why are you starting a grove? Is it for business, lifestyle or a combination? What is your plan? i.e. What do you want to achieve?
Please log in to view the entire article

Grove Establishment

1) Why are you starting a grove? Is it for business, lifestyle or a combination? What is your plan? i.e. What do you want to achieve?

2) Site Selection: When choosing a site for your grove, ask yourself - Is the climate & soil suitable for growing olives? How far away is your nearest contract processor & other service providers? Is the property, trees and facilities accessible to contractors? Is water available? Is there room for future expansion? When choosing an existing grove - Is the grove producing? If not, do you have the budget/means of turning it around?

3) Table Olives or Oil? This is an important question that will help you choose olive varieties,pruning techniques & tree spacing. Consider: What is your potential consumer demand?

4) Varietal Selection: Variety suitability is fundamental to your grove's success. Choose varieties that will succeed in your environment. (i.e. Some varieties are more frost tolerant, some are intended just as table olives while others are for oil & each is considered to have its own unique characteristics) When looking at existing groves, ensure you know what varieties are planted.

5) Tree Spacing. Even at this stage it is important to think about how you will harvest your future crop as this can affect how you space your trees.

Admiral by Sumitomo


Admiral is a product for the control of black scale in olives. It is an unconventional insecticide in the sense that it acts as an insect growth regulator that removes the pest from the grove by disrupting its life cycle and not killing it rapidly like traditional insecticides do.


In practice, this means that female scales may remain on the trees for a period after treatment, however this is of no consequence because they would have been sterilised by Admiral and no viable offspring are being produced.


At the other end of the equation, use Admiral on a commercial scale in olives (and other crops) has shown that the duration of control given by Admiral most often exceeds one season.


Since the product has become available, the majority of olive growers using Admiral have reported that no sprays were required in the subsequent season following the initial application and after all scales were removed from the trees.


This observation has significant cost benefits for olive growers!
