Coffee - Blue Mountain Kenya

$19.75 ($4.90-$19.75 choose a size)

The Blue Mountain Kenya coffee is one of the highest rated coffee varieties in the world with an outstanding balance of flavour, body and aroma. An excellent garden variety similar to K7 in growth, with a less dense habit. When grown in acidic soil this characteristic will transfer to a sweet and tart flavor in the beans. Blue Mountain Kenya matures a little earlier than K7 and does not crop as heavily because of its more open branching.Both varieties have bronze colored new tip growth which becomes green as the leaves mature.

Persimmon - American (Seedling)

I bought this persimmon on an impulse when I bought a Fuyu. I only bought one as I'm interested in this one as an ornamental (at this stage) rather than for fruit. It has grown wonderfully so far but still only very small
