Actually the coffee tree shown in the above picture seems quite lacking in the normal density of foliage. Most of the branches are almost leafless. I must agree that a well grown quality coffee plant is a very difficult plant to grow, especially during the summer months. Hot windy days are a real killer. Being a plant that demands the correct temperature range, and high humidity, summers cause great difficulty. During June, July and August, I grow my tree inside under artificial light and induced humidity. Unless one enjoys the challenge, all the time and effort required to grow, and grow the tree well, in most of the USA, coffee might not be a good plant to grow.
