Does this Coffee Plant bear usable fruit, or is it ornamental only?

I have had these plants for about 4 years and nothing usable so far. One of them finally flowered the past year. I have heard that it does take 5 years for them to produce any coffee beans, so i am still hoping.

My plants grew very well and they are now over two meters long. They gave me their first beans last year practically several beans on each branch and they now have some new beans but less than last year's because of too hot weather for spring time!

I have not had any type of flower or fruit, just green foliage. It had reached a height of about 3 feet and had lost some leaves so I have cut it back and it is doing ok. I still hope to get some type of blossoms. I have had the plant 2 or 3 years.

Yes. It looks very nice too. Mine is holding a plant indoors by our large picture window.

Of course. It's the only coffee you can use since it's not a Keurig or pod coffee pot, and it makes good coffee.

The red wild looking thing is the fruit. The plant is actually a green tropical cactus, the difference is this cactus is tropical needing lots of sun and water

All parts of this passion vine are edible. It does make a fruit & it's edible. Pretty in salads, etc. personally, I will eat it fresh & dry it for tea (u can use it fresh for tea, too!). The tea helps u relax & sleep well.

It was ABOUT the size of the pic, but it's not very cultivated or formed. But it's at a place where it can be most any sculpt of bonsai tree. I hoped that helped

Moisture, yes. Shade, not so much. They're fairly shade tolerant but I've grown some in full sun and some in partial shade and the full sun is better. These plants aren't big producers; the plants and the fruit are quite pretty but they're quite compact and I was disappointed in the quality of the fruit. Yields were small, regardless of location (including some grown in a greenhouse where I controlled the environment completely) and the fruit was quite small and not particularly tasty. It's nice that they produce fruit the first year but the quest for the perfect strawberry continues...

Yes you can, but it's smaller thank average pomegrantes (obviously). I've had mine for over a year and a half and have gotten 1 small fruit from it. p.s. If you want fruit you will have to pollinate it yourself with a qtip or small paint brush.

I'm not sure, mine is zone 5 where I'm at in Pennsylvania, so I go it as a houseplant. Its doing ok but the plant that they send to you is very small and its going to take a long , long time for it to produce the fruit. No instructions come with it , so I treat it as a Orchid cactus. Sorry that I can't give any more than that.

Yes according to company information. The coffee is ethically organic grown. Check out Company website: https://jamminjava.com

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend getting this plant. It was dead when it arrived.

Yes, it is but I take a Q-tip and pass pollen between all the flowers on the one tree. I now have 5 fruit and they look very healthy. My tree is about 7' tall and it took a year for it to fruit. I keep it inside during the winter but move it outside during the day. I live in PHX. It needs lots of sun, water and warmth. Make sure soil is not soggy - it will rot.

all i can say is this... you can slide the plant outside on the patio for the spring and summer and it will produce fruit that way. you can slide it back inside the house for the winter and it should go dormant until spring. i am not really an expert to answer this question. if you could keep it by a bright window receiving lots of light from the sun it might produce fruit. it would be a cheap and fun experiment to try out anyway. a plant light might help. it would be fun just to try and see if it works. thanks!!!

These are beautiful! And I plant them year after year. I do not soak them here in Virginia. They can be a little slow to bloom. They are ornamental beans and my neighbors always admire them.

I've loved this plant for a year. Seven or 8. THIS IS A SMALL PLANT. I have it outdoors now and it's doing well

The picture shown is the fruit. The plant I received is growing rapidly. It will eventually resemble a small palm tree but is actually a member of the cactus family.

Absolutely. The plant comes with complete care instructions. I planted it in a 24" pot with plain potting soil; no extra fertilizer was added. Within 3 months I have blooms and fruit starting to grow. It did arrive damaged and I had to cut the top 3 branches back, but the bottom branches are doing well. What should have been a 4' plant is now a 3' plant. But, again, thriving indoors.
