Wild Coffee is a native to Florida and considered a Florida Friendly Plant. Wild coffee is a moderately drought tolerant plant that will perform well in a partial shade or full shade location in the landscape. This 4- to 10-foot-tall plant may be used in the landscape as a specimen or foundation plant and is very effective when planted in mass. It stays relatively small in the sun and takes to clipping quite nicely. It makes a nice base or background plant for a shrub border. Birds and other wildlife are often associated with this plant for the fruit it produces.
This photo was taken yesterday as you can see the berries are just starting to change color attracting birds daily for this homeowner to enjoy!
