Beautiful!!! Where do you live Sheldon? Looks like mid-south? With
Canadian geese. Gorgeous green color.

We live in Hawaii where we do not get that new spring green, and we
saw that same green on a trip to M) last week, to visit family. That
green is beautiful!!

Trimming. We do have to prune each of our multi-thousand coffee
trees once a year- just one branch, but we have over the year, figured
out we could pile them high, instead of trimming them to bits, and
within 3 years, they have decomposed.

Thanks.
