The Nursery - more than just young coffee plants
Picture:
Amongst
the new coffee plants in their individual pots, new shade trees
are also cared for at the nursery. Just like with the coffee plants,
the shade trees are used to interplant within the current plantillos.
But more importantly these shade trees are used when converting
areas of other uses to coffee plantillos as well as for reforestation
efforts throughout the estate. Other plants grown in the nursery
and ntegrated ino the coffee plantillos include: fruit trees for
food for workers and wild life, bananas, castor oil and other
temporary shade.
