The much-loved Nut Tree Toy Shop, shortly before the entire place was razed.
Those lights were the best.
Coffee trees can grow more than 30 feet unless cut back. Greenwell Farms keep theirs cut low so workers can pick the coffee cherries without having to climb terribly high on ladders.
The tour was Greenwell Farms Coffee Plantation was fascinating. Our tour guide, who sounded like she had been living in Hawaii all her life, was a botanist originally from Chicago.
Botanical name: Gymnocladus dioicus
Spanish common name: Raigon del canada
English common name: Kentucky Coffeetree
pea family : Fabaceae
origin USA
The common name "coffeetree" derives from the use of the roasted seeds as a substitute for coffee in times of poverty. They are a very inferior substitute for real coffee, and caution should be used in trying them as they are poisonous in large quantities. - wikipedia

Settlers used to make coffee out of this tree when they ran out of Starbucks, Illy, or Dunkin' Donuts. Not kidding.

Finca El Yalu wonderful coffee farm in the highlands of Guatemala, producing one of the best coffees in this country year after year. Landmark of an amazing cup, its character shows true Guatemalan Coffee characteristics that only bare more complexity as we undertake this off-season walk through its many spectacular views. Amidst blackberry plantations and cow fields, one wishes to anchor here for a while.

This is a lacewing larva (family Chrysopidae) I found on October 15, 2018 on a kentucky coffeetree (Gymnocladus dioicus). In this stage of its life, it is predatory and preys on common agricultural pests such as aphids and scale insects. They will create camouflage out of debris in their surroundings. The one in the photo has made a coat out of lichen to camouflage itself among the lichen on the tree bark. They can also create coats out of the carcasses of their prey, such as aphids, to be able to get closer to them undetected before they attack.
This relates to SDG #2: Zero Hunger. This goal revolves around solving hunger issues that plague poorer areas around the world. A focus of this goal is to improve agricultural practices in places that experience hunger so that the people can better grow their own food to feed themselves. Lacewing larvae can be used as a biological pest control as they eat agricultural pests that can decimate a crop if left unchecked. Research into biological pest controls such as lacewings lead to developments sustainable agriculture.

One of my two little coffee trees growing in my apartment. I started out with 6 of them growing from seed, and two years later there are two left. This one is the smaller of the two trees.
Pacas variety, native to El Salvador, is a mutation of Bourbon closely associated with Caturra (similarly a mutation of Bourbon). The plant tends to grow smaller, making it an excellent defense against the aggressive Salvadoran winds (at Finca Matalapa in La Libertad, El Salvador).
I can't decide which one I like better - the top or the bottom. I'm starting to like taking portraits. I'm just a little picky about my model and need to work on that. I'll hopefully be taking some senior portraits soon. Ahh, I wish I could just take photography and skip the hastles of the homework and tests from the other classes.
I miss my boyfriend.
I was puzzled by these seed pods on a tree near the Grand River in Brantford, Ontario. They were relatively short and quite fat - much fatter than a black locust pod and much shorter than a honey locust pod. They are Kentucky coffeetree pods. Thanks to Laurette McGovern for the identification. For more information on the Kentucky coffeetree see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_coffeetree
From wikipedia: The Kentucky coffeetree is considered a rare tree species. "Rare species are those that are so uncommon that they should be monitored to determine whether their populations are becoming threatened."[7] It is widely distributed, but rare.

The Culleoka series consists of moderately deep, well drained, soils formed in colluvium or residuum from siltstone or interbedded shale, limestone, siltstone, and fine grained sandstone. Slope ranges from 2 to 70 percent. Near the type location the mean annual precipitation is about 47.5 inches and mean annual air temperature is about 54.7 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, active, mesic Ultic Hapludalfs
Thickness of the solum and depth to lithic bedrock of dominantly siltstone or fine grained sandstone is 20 to 40 inches. Content of flagstones and channers range from 0 to 35 percent in the A horizon, 10 to 35 percent in the B horizon, and 25 to 80 percent in the BC and C horizons. Reaction ranges from moderately to strongly acid in the solum and strongly to slightly acid in the substratum.
USE AND VEGETATION: Chiefly pasture and hay, with some tobacco, corn, and small grains. Native forest has oak, maple, black walnut, ash, hickory, beech, elm, hackberry, locust, Kentucky coffeetree, redbud, dogwood, and red cedar as the dominant species.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Bluegrass region of Kentucky, the outer Central Basin of Tennessee, Arkansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. It is of moderate extent.

Planted in early 2005 on the Kona King Coffee, Captain Cook Farm. These trees are now 10 feet tall and have produced approximatly 15 lbs. of coffee cherry each. Much of this area was covered in invasive weeds and trees (some remainin the upper right portion of the photo). Carpet grass now existis between rows of coffee. We can no longer see 50% of this house as timber bamboo is planted near the border with this neighboring property.
