My mom got be addicted to coffee in my early teens. I swoon at the smell. But then, I'm prone to swooning and even fainting if the conditions are right. I'm a hothouse flower. Anyway, a few months ago (June --it seems so long ago!) I pissed off a whole bunch of people by removing some vegetation along the property line. I left the flowers, but removed what I was told were banyan trees. I've seen the banyan trees on the drive of that name and I wasn't about to have any monsters like that on my place. Plus I really want my property to produce, and not just sit there and look pretty like so many of my old boyfriends. The hibiscus and other flowers have filled in pretty well, but there is one really big gap (and a few smaller gaps about 4 feet wide here and there). The patio of the house is very private, thanks to landscaping....except for that gap. So you can no longer pull a Kehena and stand on your hands and wag your junk in the backyard, if you ever wanted to do that. I would like to close off that gap (the one in the landscaping) if I can.
I was thinking about coffee, as I often do. So this is a strip that runs along the driveway all the way to the back. You have already helped me with a portion of it. The sun (also) rises over the ocean to the left of the house (bluff is 400 feet away), so I guess this strip runs from SE to NW. It gets sun pretty much all day I think.
So, I was thinking of putting coffee bushes in these gaps. They would need to rise about 4-6 feet so that my guests can do upside down jumping jacks on their hands. Naked. Or perhaps just sit at the table arms akimbo like me, fully clothed, slowly stirring a passionfruit margarita while Li Hing Mui finds its way to my heart, staining it forever.
Would coffee work here?
