Recently I have been turning on the irrigation system to make up for the lack of rainfall. The weeds have been removed from the orchard and field and that means the trees can get more water. We have had lots of dry weather lately and the watering helps. Then we had some rain a few times in that past week or so. Knowing the trees are getting water means that soon, very soon you will wake up one morning and see…

KONA SNOW!

Along with the delicate blossoms comes a very fragrant perfume.

From our Wikipedia article:

Kona coffee blooms in February and March. Small white flowers known as “Kona snow” cover the tree. Green berries appear in April. By late August, red fruit, called “cherry” because of resemblance to a cherry, start to ripen for picking. Each tree, hand-picked several times between August and January, provides around 15 pounds of cherry, which result in about two pounds of roasted coffee.
