My brother has a 1ha 3 year old lavander plantation and after seeing how it performed in the first two production years, i think it might be an interesting investment.

Does anyone know of any larger scale plantations?

Used to be one up at Aboyne in Deeside in the 80-90s.
Grows well in my garden, but doubt the oil yields would be high enough to be commercial.

Seemed to be grown in Croatia on a commercial scale years ago when we visited.

One of the more colourful crops, apart from opium, grown in Tasmania. Similar re visitors paying to look-see. Opium is grown in pieces of pie section irrigated by large mechanicals. Water is now a political issue.
