The growth habits of coffee:

Coffee trees belong to the evergreen family of Akanaceae. They are tropical plants that are not cold. Most of them are planted in areas with elevations of 300,400m, and also in highlands with elevations of 2000-2500 meters. But those who plant on slopes above 1500 meters above sea level have better quality. Coffee trees are most suitable for growing in an environment where the average temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius, annual precipitation is 1500-2000 mm, soil permeability is strong, and sunshine is suitable. Coffee is afraid of Frosts Descent and the cold winter, and must not be planted in the highlands where frost falls. Generally speaking, wild coffee trees can grow to about 8 meters. They are planted at home. In order to protect the quality of coffee beans, facilitate management and harvest, the height is cut to 2 meters. Coffee beans begin to bear fruit 3-5 years after sowing, and 5-20 years is the harvest period. A coffee tree can produce about 3-5 kilograms of coffee cherries per year.

At present, coffee is produced in more than 60 countries, widely distributed in South America, Central America, the West Indies, Asia, Africa, Arabia, the South Pacific and Oceania.
