Well, you're after my own heart, aren't you? :-D

It's on my list; I don't have any coffee trees right now as my space is so limited, but it's a priority once I do have the space. There are sometimes older trees available on eBay which you might want to look into, as they have to be like three or four years old before they start bearing. Also, while we go through a three pound can of ground coffee about weekly here, if a body grows their own it would likely become a special treat as each tree only produces about 3-5 pounds as I recall.

You might also think about switching over to tea since the tea bush in much easier to grow---and it has caffeine, too. I've broken my coffee habit before by increasingly cutting back on my coffee and replacing the volume with black tea. But coffee is so darned available in this culture...I slipped back into the habit.

Sigh.....

Not a big coffee fan... anyone know where I can get a mtn dew tree?

Coffee requires conditions that can only be duplicated indoors in temperate climates but if you buy northern varietals of tea plants, such as the Russian teas now widely available on the market, you can grow it pretty easily even in cooler climates.

I'm growing a black tea plant here in the NW that is doing well even with 10 degree weather this winter.

Camellia sinensis

Coffee can be grown as a houseplant in a warm room since it appreciates lower light levels. However, to have it as more than a tasty treat once or twice a year, you'd have to have several plants.
