Dad made several pieces from this lumber and I made a narrow bookshelf that now stands in our living room.
While we won't live long enough to see the lumber milled from this tree, we enjoy tracking its progress.

Legacy tree, Kentucky Coffeetree
From a box of nuts that we received from David over at True Blue Sam, this has been one of our favored trees. It was planted 4 years ago on the bottoms where it it gets plenty of moisture. It stands at about 5 feet tall and is the tallest of the coffeetrees that have made it so far.

That's great! Thanks for posting this. We had three nice coffee-trees in Bea's yard that would be making shade this year, but the new owners took them down. I hope they don't plant something bad to replace them, but Oh Well.
ReplyDeleteThis coffeetree is one our favorites and we thank you for sharing the nuts that produced several young trees. The growth on this one has been great.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that a tree is cut down that may not be a danger to people or buildings.
