What is the lifespan of a coffee tree? can coffee grow continuously?

It is needless to say that coffee drinkers naturally recognize the characteristics of coffee beans, but when it comes to coffee trees, it is estimated that most people still do not understand them. Coffee trees are trimmed short to save energy and help harvest, but can grow to more than 30 feet (9 meters) tall. Each tree is covered with green waxy leaves and grows in pairs with each other. Coffee cherries grow along the branches. Because it grows continuously, it is not uncommon to see flowers, green fruits and ripe fruits on a tree at the same time.

It takes nearly a year for cherries to blossom to mature for the first time, and it takes about five years for cherries to grow to full fruit. Although coffee trees can live as long as 100 years, they usually have the highest yields between the ages of 7 and 20. Proper care can maintain or even increase their yields over the years, depending on the variety. The average coffee tree produces 10 pounds of coffee cherries or 2 pounds of mung beans a year.

All commercially grown coffee comes from a part of the world called the coffee belt. Trees grow best in fertile soil, with mild temperatures, frequent rain and sunshade.
