COFFEE ARABICA

Coffee arabica (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

We planted the 2 coffee trees behind the shed as we read they like Lime. The cement slab does seem to encourage them along. Our first crop we only got enough beans off 1 of the trees to have 2 cups of coffee. This year we got 4 kilo of beans between the 2 trees.

For roasting the beans we got an oil can and devised a way to put it on the BBQ rotisserie. After some experimenting we found by doing it this method for 20 minutes it gave them a lovely taste.

They are growing quite well, are still in pots but have turned into nice bushes. They flowered last summer and are still holding onto the fruit. One has grown quite large and is inside now full of fruit. the other two are outside still and are still holding onto quite a few berries.

Grow in a warm location with filtered light, they like to be watered frequently and fertilized once every month or two.

We have heaps of beans on our small coffee tree that have been there for at least eight months, still waiting for them to ripen.  Usually takes about 9 months, and we are just getting a couple go red now.  It's a very small bush in a pot, but producing wonderfully

UPDATE 2014: Fruiting like crazy, AND when about to relocate it, found about a dozen self-seeded seedlings underneath! :) So have potted those up, and see how they go :) And also see how the transplant goes - it's not into ideal location, but I needed to move it foraquaponics tank

UPDATE 2012: Lots of flowers this year, berries seem to be developing nicely

Lovely large glossy leaves. Bright green new growth ages to a dark green. Seems to be slow growing.

Summer 2011: FIRST FLOWERS! So excited. They are hard to see because they are down at the base of the leaves along the branches but they are there! Fingers crossed for some fruit!!! I had always been told that they were highly fragrant. I haven't noticed any particular smell but with all the rain it could easily have been washed away.

All my leaves are yellowing and falling off. It may be that the leaves fall off naturally but this time last year the leaves all fell off, but they did grow back and didn't seem to miss a beat, I even got beans on them. Great smelling flowers too
