Pruned Kona Coffee Trees

Our pruned Kona Coffee trees have come back to life!  Spring rains promoted healthy new growth to the bare pruned stumps.  Next will be the big job of selecting just a few of these healthy shoots on which will grow the next two year’s Kona Coffee crop.  Production starts on the second year wood and has its maximum production on the third year.  After the third year’s crop is picked, this process of pruning will start over.  With this method of pruning we cut every third row each year.  This method promotes evenly grown verticals which will hopefully produce an abundant crop of premium Kona Coffee cherries.
