Montoso gardens should have or soon will have the coffee arabica seeds http://www.montosogardens.com/tropical_fruit_seeds.htm

I don't recall Montoso having Catui.  I have heard that it is possible to get reasonable (but low) germination from green (unroasted) coffee beans.  If you do a search on line you will find articles about this.  If you then look for sellers of green beans, you will find quite a variety of things available.

Hello,

I grow coffee commercially, and I make seedlings, lately we are abandoning Catuaí coffee, it is very sucetivel the coffee rust, phoma and nematodes,we are using an earlier cultivar, of smaller size and high productivity, that would be Catucaí coffee,

The most suitable for production and resistance to diseases is Catucaí IAC 6/30, which produces yellow fruits.

For red fruits I would indicate the Catucaí 785/15, very resistant to large fruit diseases.

The colors are important because each coffee has a different flavor.

Would prefer seedlings if possible. Montoso in PR is not shipping plants just seed. I just saw the post about Catui in Brazil not very resistant to Leaf rust. My plan is to grow coffee as a hobby here in South Florida. With that said I would prefer to get the Catucaí IAC 6/30 and the Catucaí 785/15.

Thank you everyone here is great!

Hi,

It was great to see someone asking about coffee, now cultivating coffee is my profession, so I'm studying a lot to improve my cultivation.

Today I carried out the roasting and grinding of a 60 kg coffee bag, the type of coffee was a 100 percent high quality arabica coffee, it redeemed me 40 kg of coffee powder and 15 kg of coffee in whole grain.

My production consists of a blend of several varieties of coffee, such as yellow and red Catucai, yellow and red Catuai, red Bourbon coffee Mundo Novo yellow and red, this causes an interesting flavor in Blend.

Mundo Novo is big tree 7, 8 m high, but sweet flavour, special.

Follow photos of today's work and ... I'll make a coffee to taste after dinner!

my whole house is smelling coffee, a delicious aroma

Alexandre.

So you grow coffee arabica in Florida Shot? How does it taste?

Hello

As we have a commercial coffee production, I contract a truck that has a machine coupled with a cleaning and separation of the coffee beans.

To my palate this roasting point is the best, the clearer, the coffee looks like tea, the more roasted, it tastes like cigarette butts!

Hi Shot,

You got me excited about making some coffee from my trees. Lots of people don't believe that Coffee can grow here in Florida. Meanwhile quite a few people are growing them. Do you grow the trees in containers? Full sun part shade? What about the cold weather?

Are you on Facebook? Check out this new group that is for Florida Coffee Growers.

Your coffee sounds really good!

Have a great night.

Coffee CAN EASILY be grown in So. Fla with minimal care. A bit of fertilizer, mulch, water and shade will do it, and with the cooler months we get here, they don't mind the weather at all.

I've been growing coffee for nearly 10 years. Some in semi-shade, others in full sun, all in ground. The ones in the shaded area do best. The trees fruit profusely and stay less than 7' tall, but for harvest they're best kept smaller.

I am a coffee drinker and figured that each producing coffee bush could supply me with ~1 month of coffee, and my plan was to have 12 or 13 to supply me year round, but the labor to make it was just too much so I stopped planting at 8 or 9. They do make nice privacy hedges also.

The "problem" is that making the coffee is very labor intensive without help from machinery / automation and after two seasons making my own, I stopped. Commercial coffee is just too easy :-)

As far as flavor goes, if picked right, cleaned and roasted right home grown is delicious, sorta nutty, but there's that labor thing. 

Here's a link to my initial posts on making it, before I threw in the towel that is :-)

Gary,

Great info you shared.

Bottom line labor is the big issue!

Thanks,
