coffee trees

Bean-bearing shrubs

Coffee trees are the plants that produce coffee beans, technically shrubs of the genus Coffea that can grow twenty feet tall if unpruned.

Commercial cultivation keeps them smaller for easier harvesting.

The "beans" are actually seeds from the plant's red or purple fruit, called coffee cherries.

The coffee trees on that hillside produce some of the finest beans in the region.
