Here is one of my second year Coffeetrees (in the foreground). The photo is less than a week old.
If I remember right I drilled the seed covering. I don't know thats it necessary.
After its been exposed to the elements for a while, I've noticed that Coffeetree seeds turn fairly soft.

It has been de-leaved almost entirely to conserve energy.
Its still alive, I expect it to recover, only time will tell.
I'm afraid it had a pretty big lack of watering for a while. And I think it probably isn't happy about its root situation, in a pot. The plan though is to find a place to plant it sometime soon.
All my seedlings are in pots and I just can't water them as much as they need.
Since I've noticed the lack of leaves on many seedlings I try to water everyday if possible.
