Flowers, green unripe cherries, plus red cherries ready to pick....all on the same branch.
This is happening to the trees growing in the full morning sun, shade after 1 pm. Last year they flowered in the beginning of April. As a comparison, the full shade trees are not yet flowering.
"P" mentioned to me today that having all 3 stages on the plant at a time may cut into the quality of the next crop. Good thought! I plan to call a well known coffee grower in the area to see what his experience has been. Perhaps those green cherries have to go,
