Other then the soil, and temp, does your house need to be a mess as well in order to grow a coffee tree?

Can you please make a follow-up video of the coffee plant? This video was two years ago. Would be so fun to see the tree now.

You can grow it indoors in Canada. Florida is the only other state (besides Hawaii) south enough for outdoors but, has no mountains to attain the 1000 ft or higher to grow good coffee. My wild coffee grows at about 2000 ft from where I hike it down two miles and a thousand ft in altitude to the parking lot. Labor of love? Well maybe, but I do get at least $18 a pound for Coffee that has never seen fertilizer or pesticides.

On Maui I harvest so much wild coffee that I bought a pulper and a huller to process a couple hundred Lbs. of cherries. The yield is about 25 to 30 Lbs. of beans from every 100 Lbs. of cherries or a 70% to 75% loss.
That's why I get $20 Lb. for coffee that's never seen fertilizer or pesticide. -
Actually a coffee 'tree' is a bush, but don't get me wrong, Good Job!

I live on Oahu in Hawaii, I'm only going to be here for 3 years though. How mature do they have to be to start seeding?
-
how long before it starts growing coffee?

just make sure to trim the "suckers" as they grow out. you really only want one large main middle stem and many little branches that divert off of that at a 90 degree angle.

Oh nice to hear you are growing. 12 inches is small, so you will be fine. your plant will recover and grow tall. Make sure you acclimate the plant to direct sunlight every year. Do this by slowly introducing the plant to strong sunlight maybe for a week evey spring/summer. do like 5 minutes in direct sunlight, every one hour for a day. then do like 15 every hour the next. then you will be ok to just throw it in full sun for the full summer.
