Coffee Plant
Coffea arabica Tea drinkers have been growing herbs to make tea for years, now coffee drinkers can grow their own coffee! The coffee plant is a small, handsome, evergreen tree that can be grown in a large container with filtered sunlight. Hardy in zones 10-11, it can be brought indoors during the winter months in colder climates. During the winter it prefers high humidity, moist (not soggy) soil, and a sunny, south facing window. Glossy, dark emerald leaves set off clusters of wonderfully fragrant, white flowers during the second year. At 3-4 years, the blooms produce berries. The 1/2 inch fruit begins green, ripens to yellow and finally matures to deep red. Each fruit contains 2 seeds, which are coffee beans that can be roasted and ground for brewing. Plants can reach 10-12 feet, but are typically maintained at 2-4 feet.
