Title: Starting coffee from green beans
Post by: HIfarm on November 08, 2018, 06:31:56 PM

I noticed a posting about "rare" coffee seed being available.  I don't know if it is general knowledge but coffee can be germinated from fresh green coffee beans so you can then have access to truly topshelf varieties like gesha and others.  I have not yet tried this (I am waiting to develop some "overstory" first) so I cannot comment on the germination rate.  If you search on line, there are many articles on it, here is one:

Have you had chance to try this since?

Was looking into attempting same.  Wanted to try growing liberica & robusta for fun. 

I don’t intend to get much out of it, but cool to have em goin/growin.
