Where and when to plant SMCC 0011 Arabica 1 coffee
Arabica wants cool highland air, robusta grows in the lowlands, and liberica, the barako, and excelsa are hardy in between. Pick the species for your elevation first, then a selection by yield and cup quality. A registered tree variety is a selection from one proven mother tree, and only grafted, budded or marcotted plants carry its traits. A seedling grown from its seed can turn out quite different. So buy from a nursery accredited by the Bureau of Plant Industry, and ask which mother tree the scions came from. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Pagtatanim ng puno.
