There are several "species of rare coffee" that grow into small trees, produce less seed (beans) and will not grow in Florida. The quality of coffee is in the processing of "ripe" red seeds, not green and quality also depends on climate of the plants. Coffee likes cool nights, part shade and damp clay soils. Some coffee has been grown to produce seed in Homestead Florida, but further north, it needs a greenhouse for winter. All coffee is commercially grown for best flavor in the mountains of the Caribe and South American northern countries. Puerto Rico grows coffee in the mountains known to be the worlds best in flavor. If you buy a jar of Maxwellhouse instant coffee, somewhere in the jar is coffee grown on my farm in Guayanilla, Puerto Rico ! I offer seeds on web-site: plantcollectors. net

For members of Bananas org, if anyone cares to send me about three dollars, for postage, I will send you 50 to 100 viable seeds free to try. (members only).
