UH-CTAHR’s Cooperative Extension and the Hawaii Department of Agriculture welcomes you to an exploratory trial of four different coffee pruning techniques. This workshop is a follow-up event to the Feb. 28thand Mar. 1st, 2018 as well as Jan. 30th, 2019 pruning field days where the following pruning techniques were demonstrated at the Kona Research Station.
The objective of this pruning trial is to compare the above methods for yield, labor requirements, harvesting considerations and impact on CBB management. During this field day, attendees will learn and participate in desuckering coffee trees pruned in Jan. 2019, and then will be able to tour and walk through the pruning trial. Trees in the trial plot were originally pruned on Feb. 13, 2017. The first comparative harvest took place in the 2018-2019 season. Future field days will look at harvest. Speakers include: Dr. Stuart T. Nakamoto and Andrea Kawabata of CTAHR |
