Coffee K7

I have three K7 Coffee Trees in pots and after 2 years they are getting lots of flowers. I suspect I will have fully developed beans in another 5 months. One year earlier then expected so I am very happy. | Correy - Woolloongabba, QLD 25-Aug-2007

Coffee - Condong Range

Make sure you plant a wind break first, we learned the hard way, last year we lost several thousand trees and many more were defoliated when we had frosty winds last winter. | Mt Mee Coffee - Mt Mee, QLD 16-Jan-2008

They are very sensitive to wind. Make sure you keep them in a sunny spot but make sure you choose a few hardy trees as a wind breaks or choose a protected position. | Correy - Brisbane, QLD 13-Apr-2008

Weed Warning: The Coffee Tree is a highly attractive small tree very well suited to the subtropical and tropical regions. The layer of seedlings underneath any coffee tree is a clear indication of its germination potential and the bright red sweet coffee berries are a delight for the birds. The bulging coffee industry in Northern NSW has caused some alarm about the potential for this fruit to be a damaging weed in the future. Should you seek to grow your own coffee, we recommend netting the tree and removing the tree is you cease to harvest the berries.
