The picking season of Coffee in Brazil-- an introduction to the planting Environment in the Manor area

When the coffee fruit changes from turquoise to full wine red, it shows that it is ripe, but there are also some strange varieties, the ripe coffee fruit appears yellow. The coffee fruit looks like cranberries or cherries, but the shape is closer to the oval. Coffee farmers usually judge whether the coffee fruit is ripe by pinching the coffee fruit with the thumb and index finger. If the coffee bean is squeezed out with a gentle pinch, it proves that the coffee fruit is ripe. The ingredients left in the hand after the coffee beans are squeezed out are red peel and pulp. What is squeezed out is the seed coat and the mucus adhered to it. Inside the seed coat are two coffee seeds wrapped in translucent silver skins. The vigorous production period of a coffee tree usually lasts about 15 years. Of course, some trees are still fruitful for 20 or 30 years. As soon as the coffee tree loses its ability to bear fruit, it will be cut down on the spot and uprooted so as not to compete for nutrients with other trees that are still strong and can bear fruit. Coffee yield is related to the species and growing environment of coffee trees. On average, a coffee tree can produce 5 pounds of coffee fruit a year, and eventually harvest about 1 pound of dried 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.
