COFFEE TREE

Coffee K7

Resistant to both 'Berry Disease' and 'Coffee Rust' this tree was developed and recommended for growing in the Northern Rivers Area by NSW Agriculture Department after extensive trials at Alstonville NSW. An open spreading variety, it is a reliable cropper, producing large flavour-filled beans; it is also the recommended variety for those who intend to harvest mechanically.

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

This week´s SMH Good Living cover story about a tree that fruited in a Woolloomooloo community garden. Expert Toby Smith, of Tobyś Estate, processed the beans and declared ¨not bad for coffee at sea level¨. What are you waiting for :) | Diane - Seven Hills, NSW 23-Apr-2010

Coffee Tree

I am not a big fan of the roasted coffee seed beverage. However the fresh coffee berries of some varieties tastes like sweet corn syrup, and have high levels of polyphenol antioxidants. Try the fresh berries too! | Jonathan - Black Mountain-cooroy, QLD 05-Mar-2011

Coffee arabica

Arabica grows well at Picton, has provided berries for the past five years. | Virginia - Picton, NSW 10-Feb-2015

Coffee - Gold

Took a few years to get fruit but not looking back now. So delicious once roasted. Many hours involved to get yourself less than a kilo tho!! | Mark M - Shellharbour, NSW 09-Sep-2018

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.
