Re: Nice bees on my coffee trees..
hehe, yeah but itll be ages, months, before you get ripe cherries, maybe April or after next year even.. I cant remember exactly how long and the length depends on a range of things.. climate, weather, tree health, recent stress to the tree.. and so on : )

Re: Nice bees on my coffee trees..
My coffee tree is flowering for the first time this spring. Im assuming flowers mean cherries are coming?

Re: Nice bees on my coffee trees..
Heh, thanks everyone!
I didnt even know those facts about the bees, thanks Kosmo!
Yeah, theyre easy to grow, mine get a touch too much sun I think, hence the slightly burnt leaves.. other than that theyre great!

Re: Nice bees on my coffee trees..
They look good.
Mine are growing nicely.
I recently had to remove their windbreak/shade as the were getting too tall for it.
It might be a while yet before theyre ready to flower though.

Re: Nice bees on my coffee trees..
Your post prompted me to Google info on carpenter bees as I really did not know much about them
So that’s added to my knowledge base in my brain :
I have learned that males can’t sting but females can if provoked
They cause a lot of damage to wood because they drill long holes to lay there eggs

those bees probably think theyve hit the jackpot finding some coffee trees to visit

Nice bees on my coffee trees..
Hey I didnt know where else to put this so I started a new thread.. most people probably wont be interested but I found it nice so I thought Id post.
My trees are flowing at the moment and I discovered (heard from ages away) that I have a couple of Great Carpenter Bees visiting.. The largest native bee in Australia. They grow up to 24mm long. Anyway big buggers, they really seem to like the coffee trees, and I havent seen any other bees near them. Cute hey.
