Coffee tree


JEFF IN MODESTO

Recommended Posts

Not a palm, but definately a companion tree.

I have a bushy 7 ft tall coffee arabica growing in a 20 gal decorative pot on my back porch.

I bring it indoors dec/jan where it does pretty good under a couple of 10 watt led lights.

It pumps out lots of coffee berries.

But frankly The tree is taking up to much space.

I'm selling it for $100 , must pick up.

Jeff,

Did you grow this from seed? also how old is it? I have one in a 3 gallon that is a few years old but hasn't grown much.

I have one nearly as large as Jeff's grown from seed over 6 years.

Mine has been moved inside once the overnights get below 50 degrees.

Yup, I started it from seed.

My lows are in the 42f-50f range right now and it's pushing new growth, so I don't think sub 50f temps bother it. Though they do seem unhappy when the temps get near freezing or if the soil gets cold for a period of time.
