Join the coffee craze and produce your own coffee beans! Arabica is the coffee of commerce and produces red, pulpy berries on an upright shrub. And if the berries don't attract enough attention, then the fragrant white blooms nestled amongst shiny green leaves surely will. Place in a bright window and soon you'll be harvesting your own beans.
