Family: Madder (Rubiaceae)
Hardy to Zone 10 to 12, may be grown in a container, brought in for the winter
Evergreen bush to small tree, native to Ethiopia, the original shade-grown type that makes a single trunk with a conical form and attains at maturity a height of 12 feet. Protect from frost. This kind of coffee tree need not be cut down to harvest the berries. The trees are glossy-leaved and handsome, bearing white flowers that exude delicious aroma. These are recent, viable and unroasted (!) seeds of the original varietal from which most modern coffees have been bred. The plant is generally considered to be the least productive but best tasting of all coffees. Source of caffeine. Coffee prefers a warm and humid environment, and does best in mixed plantings on rolling ground, where it can be planted as an understory to larger trees. Coffee makes a very handsome indoor plant, greenhoused plant, or can be planted outdoors in the tropics. Space trees at least 15 feet apart. Coffee trees live up to 100 years.

Hello, in the description, it is stated that the shrub is best planted “on rolling ground”. Could you clarify what rolling ground means? Does it refer to hillside? Thank you!

Hello Tatiana, Yes, you’re busting me for using artist’s license. I would define it as a deep undulation of the earth, much like terraces on hillsides overlooking the ocean can be envisioned as continuations of wave form from the sea–a groundswell if you will. I’ve experienced coffee plantations in Hawaii and East Africa and found the mature trees prefer undulating ground. I hope I haven’t created another indecipherable simile.
