GROWER’S NOTE:
If you are a patient tree lover, this is your tree! It certainly is one of our favorites. As growers, good trees come to those who wait, and the Coffee Tree always delivers. The ridged bark and the tropical foliage adds variety to our fields. The sparse branching at a young age presents a challenge to our growers, and it’s fun to watch our rows of Coffee Trees take shape.
