We had a Kentucky coffee tree removed because it had been struck by lightning, although the damage was minimal, there was a split in the trunk. Otherwise, the tree was very healthy - but near two homes. The tree trunk was left about three foot high. Now, several months later, there are sprouts coming up as far away from the trunk as fifty feet in my yard, and worse, in my neighbor's yard. Cutting these sprouts off only seems to encourage them to grow back stronger than ever. I've tried the cutting/painting method to no avail, and I even drilled holes in the trunk and poured gas into the holes (several times) without success. At this point, taking out the trunk is not an option. Can you help? Thanks.
This takes some vigilance, but generally undiluted Round Up will help kill these roots. You need to wound the roots (normally, people cut the suckers down and use those wounds) and then paint the undiluted Round Up on the wounds. The bigger or more wounds you paint, the better. The roots will suck the Round Up in and it will kill them. You may have to repeat the process a few times to fully kill the roots if the root system is still strong.
The articles were very good. But they did not say where you might find the seeds to grow them.
Search for seed sources through 'Google'.
Also try Ebay, they are a good source of seeds and plants.
I need help! I do not know what to do to save my plant.
Coffee plants enjoy temperatures above 65 in a non-drafty location, soil that is kept moist but not soggy and extra humidity. If any of those needs are not fulfilled that would cause the leaves to brown in the fashion they are. Coffee plants also appreciate a boost of fertilizer every few months in the spring and summer.

The plant was doing great outdoors this summer, but since I brought it in, the leaves seem to be sagging and I don't know what to do. I do put a grow light on for extra light. Any ideas would be helpful.
Indoor light is almost always dimmer than outdoor light, even with grow lights, so most plants will be temporarily stressed when they are brought indoors. The drooping leaves could be a sign of overwatering. Cut down on watering during the winter, because the tree will use less water indoors than outdoors.
