Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A break from the standard red fruiting coffee, this variety produces an abundance of yellow-fruited berries that conceal the coffee beans. Considered a dwarf clone in tropical areas, its habit in container culture is much like its red fruiting cousin. It's just as resilient as an indoor plant where it can thrive in less than full sun. Plants usually start fruiting once a branching habit has begun, usually around 3' in height.
