Weed Warning: The Coffee Tree is a highly attractive small tree very well suited to the subtropical and tropical regions. The layer of seedlings underneath any coffee tree is a clear indication of its germination potential and the bright red sweet coffee berries are a delight for the birds. The bulging coffee industry in Northern NSW has caused some alarm about the potential for this fruit to be a damaging weed in the future. Should you seek to grow your own coffee, we recommend netting the tree and removing the tree is you cease to harvest the berries.

Hi, I’ve been searching the net but haven’t found a coffee plant which is ready to produce. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can purchase one?

Thank you.

I’ve managed to grow a plant from a bean, but it’s been a few months now and my plant has no leaves! The best way to describe what it looks like is chives – i.e. about 10-15 long thin chive-like stems. The plant seems healthy enough and the stems are growning up to nearly a foot long, but what can I do to prompt leaf growth?

I have a coffee bean tree that seems to be sick. It has had a mealy bug problem in the past and now the leaves are turning black on the edges. Any suggestions?
