Arabian coffee

Plant in moist, humus-rich, well-drained, acidic (pH 5.5–6.5) soil in partial shade — coffee is an attractive, glossy-leaved tropical shrub or small tree native to the forest understory of Ethiopia, grown worldwide in tropical highlands for the seeds (coffee beans) contained inside the red or yellow 'cherry' fruits, which ripen 9–12 months after the heavily fragrant white flowers bloom. As an ornamental plant it is outstandingly handsome: the dark green, glossy, waxy leaves are beautiful year-round; the clusters of jasmine-scented white flowers in spring are intensely fragrant; and the red coffee cherries are decorative and visually striking in fall and winter. Coffee is a genuine shade plant, preferring filtered light under taller trees rather than full sun, which scorches the leaves and stresses the plant in warm climates. In zone 10–11 it can be grown outdoors permanently; in cooler zones it is a remarkable large container plant for bright indoor spaces or protected outdoor areas in summer. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 72–120 дюймів Висота: 72–180 дюймів Дні до схожості: 30–60 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–27°C
