As I live in Brisbane I have been contemplating about growing some coffee trees for some time now.
I have prepared a garden bed of approximately 1.5 mt X 5 mt sheltered next to corner fence line and gets morning sun until 2 to 3 pm
I am looking at these 2 varieties below. (Information found on the internet)
However I am leaning towards the Catui as it will grow as a shrub and is originally from South America I believe it is an Arabica variety
They are available in Australia to buy as seed or plant
Dwarf Coffee Tree - Catui
A dwarf coffee tree suitable for handpicking, prolific cropper of quality beans.
Makes an ideal plant for growing in a pot as an ornamental
Coffee K7
Resistant to both Berry Disease and Coffee Rust this tree was developed and recommended for growing in the Northern Rivers Area by NSW Agriculture Department after extensive trials at Alstonville NSW. An open spreading variety, it is a reliable cropper, producing large flavour-filled beans.

I can’t find information on planting distance between trees to judge how many plants I can fit in the garden bed
Thoughts and comments appreciated
