Taller trees are planted next to many coffee trees to avoid being exposed to the sun for a long time

Ripe and immature coffee beans

Coffee trees are usually bred in nurseries, grow into seedlings, and then moved to coffee plantations a year later, in full compliance with the original Arab method of planting and cultivating coffee trees. In the first four or five years of its growth, the coffee tree will continue to take root downward, develop its trunk upward, and develop into an umbrella shape so that it can bear rich fruit in the future.

Before long, small fruits appear in piles, first green, then yellow, then red or crimson, and can be picked almost black. In Jamaica, bats are the first to know whether the fruit is ripe or not. by sucking coffee pulp at night, they are telling people that the fruit is ripe and ready to be picked. The oval fruit gathers tightly around the branches, with slender, smooth dark green toothed leaves on both sides of the branches. The leaves on the sunny side are harder, the back is softer, the edges are fan-shaped, and the branches are opposite from the trunk.

The coffee tree has delicate white flowers that smell like oranges and jasmine. Sometimes it is just a tree blooming alone, like a young bride, sometimes the whole coffee garden is in full bloom, it looks like a sea of white flowers, beautiful and intoxicating. But the florescence is fleeting. Within two or three days, the petals dispersed with the wind, leaving only the remaining fragrance spinning in the air.
