The endocarp wrapped coffee seed to the seedbed, 40-60 days will germinate, about 6 months after germination will grow to about 50 cm seedlings. At this stage, the seedlings are still fragile and must be covered with something such as winter gauze to block direct sunlight.

The seedlings bloom about three years after they are transplanted from the seedbed to the garden. During this period, countries such as Central America that harvest coffee beans by hand prune the branches of the coffee tree and trim the lower branches to improve the efficiency of harvesting coffee beans. Coffee tree flowers are white five-petaled flowers, jasmine fragrance, flowers will wither within a few days, followed by small fruit growth, 6-8 months to represent mature red.

The coffee harvest peaks 6-10 years after the coffee tree is grown, and then the harvest gradually declines. In addition, if the coffee tree grows too tall, it will also cause poor harvests, so coffee farmers will cut the trunk from 30-50 cm above the ground, allowing it to regenerate branches and renew productivity. This step is called Cutback. If combined with favorable conditions such as climate, fertilization and pest resistance, coffee trees can last for 20 years or even 50 years.

Wild coffee trees can be as high as 10 meters, but generally planted coffee trees are maintained at a height of about 2 meters in order to facilitate harvesting. Arabica coffee varieties are improved every year to achieve high yield, high disease resistance, early harvest, environmental adaptability standards, of course, coupled with the right height of the tree to harvest more efficiently.
