Coffea arabica is now rare in its native habitat. The plant needn't be grown for its coffee beans alone as it also makes a fantastic feature plant or hedge. The thick glossy foliage makes for wonderful hedges and can easily be trimmed to any desired height. An asset to any perfumed or edible garden, it bears sweet jasmine scented flowers, followed by edible fruit.

Prune hard in Spring to maintain shape, and fertilise regularly with a complete fertiliser.
