Coffee Bushes at Sydney Botanical Gardens

[macca2106]

Sydney Snobs interested in seeing a couple of coffee bushes in full fruit can find two very healthy bushes in the Sydney Botanical Gardens.
I have visited a few times over the last few months & have watched the formation & ripening of the cherries, both bushes are now bearing masses of fruit in different stages of ripeness.




Coffea Arabica Plant Identification Sign



I estimate the bushes to be at least 3 metres high.



Plenty of fruit on both bushes



The bushes are easily located close to the Conservatorium of Music adjacent to the Herb Garden.
Happy viewing

There appear to be more cherries in that one photo than on both my bushes.

The plants are close for anyone attending Aroma Fest next Sunday, maybe a 10 to 15 stroll. Im happy to meet those interested at a convenient location ( the Di Bartoli Stand at 1pm ??) & walk over for a look.
Im not suggesting a "raid"!
