Menorca's maritime Mediterranean climate deviates from continental patterns: winters are mild yet damp and battered by northern Tramuntana gales, while spring awakens early in February and dry summer warmth lingers well into October.
Winter (December - February): Structural Pruning
The optimal window for crown thinning and shaping ancient olive trees and wild acebuches, fruit tree pruning, and heavy perimeter brush clearing before early spring budding.
Spring (March - May): Recommissioning & Pest Prevention
Full technical audit of automatic irrigation systems, dripper descaling, slow-release organic fertilisation, and the first annual round of preventive trunk endotherapy against Red Palm Weevil.
Summer (June - August): Water Management & Villa Care
Setting irrigation timers to predawn hours (04:00 AM) to curb evaporation losses, bi-weekly trimming of myrtle and oleander hedges, and remote photo updates for overseas villa owners.
Autumn (September - November): Recovery & Soil Enrichment
Post-rain antifungal treatments, second anti-weevil microinjection booster, roof gutter clearing, and green biomass recycling into rich compost mulch.
