For many years I have been trying to grow coffee and a few times I
have had the root just start to grow but never beyond that.
Today in Liddl they Had pots of coffee plants, multiple seeds growing,
probably getting on for 20 to a pot so I grabbed 2, I will split one
down to around 5 plants pre clump and the other I will try to pot on
all the smaller plants as singles, lets hope some of them survive.

Divided them yesterday and ended up with 8 pots with 2 or 3 plants in
each and 12 single plants

Hi Dave,

Would this be coffe bush, or coffee tree?

I was given some Kentucky Coffee Bean Tree seeds a few years ago, and managed to get a couple of them to germinate, one of which is still alive: presumably not the same thing, then?

I have had a coffee plant for years, which I picked up at the Eden project.
Never had anything off it, and it always looked more than a little ropey.
It's looking on its last legs atm.
