Mr Deven Tio,
Thank you for your e-mail on the above subject.
1. The matured oil palm tree usually has a bunch weight of 15 - 25 kg.
2. Economical life span is about 25 - 30 years . More than 30 years trees are too high to harvest and the production decrease significantly.
3. Optimal number of trees is 55 - 60 trees per acre. Harvesting period of Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) for oil aplm trees in production is 13-14 days about 2 bunches per acre per month.
Thank you.
