COFFEE PRUNING - Tradition and Innovation 

In this short educational video, Tom Greenwell discusses ways of pruning coffee, including both the traditional method, as well as the more "innovative" style of pruning used at Greenwell Farms. This latter style, The Beaumont-Fukunaga system, was developed in the 1950's, however it was rejected by most farmers in Kona at that time. Greenwell Farms has utilized the Beaumont-Fukunaga method almost exclusively since the farm's inception.
Greenwell Farms is a coffee farming and processing company in the heart of Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. Their primary goal is to bring to coffee lovers around the world the finest 100% Kona Coffee available. They asked Mahi'ai Creative and Gum Design to produce this video in the hope that if you ever come to the Big Island, you will stop in and say hello, take their coffee tour and enjoy a cup of Kona's finest.
