Coffea arabica
Coffee
Coffea arabica is the plant that produces the well-known coffee beans. It grows as a small, evergreen tree with a somewhat open branching habit and produces star-shaped, sweetly scented white flowers in spring. These result in a green berry which then matures to red-purple, and inside are two seeds which are the coffee beans. The foliage is mid green and has a “fresh” appeal. It typically grows to 5 m tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance is achieved when grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site, protected from frost. This plant is commonly included in mixed planting or simply grown for your own supply of beans.
