    Re: Growing your own coffee

    Hey Bwilks...or Brett i should probably say. Doesnt look like your having much luck finding any seedlings so heres what im willing to do.

    Send me your postage details in a private message and ill will post you some dried green bean, some dried whole cherries and maybe a couple of fresh cherries off my plants.

    Im not sure how you will go getting any of it to sprout but im not going to use any of it right now and you seem pretty keen

    OR if all else fail maybe you might want to swap me some nice fresh beans of some sort from down your way for a few cuttings?????

    Let me know if your interested?
    Luke

        Really?!?!? Thredbo? as in the snow resort?!?!??!

        Are you sure they were coffee plants? Frost is the coffee plants worst enemy! The swelling of the moisture inside the plants limbs causes the fibres to break thereby destroying the plant. At the very least in my experience a light frost cause all exposed leaf to turn brown and fall off setting the plants growth back months if not totally killing it.

            And in pots so they can be taken indoors or hothouse when necessary. I was thinking exactly the same as Luke G re fibres.
