There is a point and time where each tree will reach its maximum production potential. Whether in tall or short poise varieties; with any plantation density; in plain sunlight or under the shadow of a tree; on free growth or with no tree topping; with single or multiple stems; there is a specific number or harvests in which the tree reaches it´s maximum production average per harvest length. This period includes the initial stage of vegetation growth. As a consequence, coffee farming requires periodic tree renovations after the trees have reached their full development.
