  • Moleskin: reflections on planting a Kentucky Coffee Tree for my daughter.

    • After planting a tree, some people will add stakes and wire supports, but this hurts the tree because the tree doesn’t develop the strength to withstand strong winds.

    • It’s not a good idea to add fertilizer to a tree right after planting it because the tree will focus on growing its branches, not on developing a strong root base.
