I have just planted 20 coffee beans but I need a drink now!

Anyone grown coffee?


Yes. Even flowered it once whilst fairly small. Never got a crop.

A bit like growing an avocado stone you can do it for fun but it isn't
especially rewarding. Small plant is fairly decorative.

Reasonably nice glossy leaves but too much trouble to keep warm enough
in the UK. Had similar bother trying to grow a Jacaranda tree.
