I hope you like lots of pics.....lol.
These next lot of photos are of my friend Jills coffee trees.
I just had to visit her after she told me that she grew up on a coffee plantation in Kenya and that's the main reason she bought her home as it had a hedge of coffee trees.
So armed with a camera and a bucket I was off picking while she made a cuppa.
These trees block out a neighbouring property so she has now created her own private tropical paradise .
This is a small one that she let self seed.
Next photo is of same tree a few weeks later covered in perfumed flowers.
Here is a close up.
Lush,tropical look,long pendulous leaves.
In as little as three years the coffee tree will be covered with white, jasmine-scented flower clusters, fragrant white flowers and finally
the masses of green berries that follow, mature to a beautiful cherry-red
making this an inspirational and decorative addition to any garden.
Easy to process and relatively problem free the Arabica thrives in the cooler climate and rich volcanic soil of Australia.
Ideal as an indoor, ornamental or hedging plant.
On offer are 100 SEEDS / BERRIES.
They will not be cleaned as I don't have that time to spare.
