It's a Coffee tree, and those little flowers will produce the cherry, which is where you get the bean. Kiss my @$$ $tarbucks!

I don't drink coffee, but that still pretty cool.

They also make great flowering houseplants, and recycle more oxygen into the air than most plants. But I just want to drink it.

Hey, that's pretty cool. From seedling to drinking, how long does it take? And how many beans will that produce?

I also have tobacco growing in the back

Rick, it takes a coffee tree about 3-5 years before it will produce the cherries. Fully matured, a tree can put out about 12 lbs a year I think. This is our first harvest, and quite a few of the beans will get replanted, but we might still end up with half a pound, likely less.

Very neat. Although before I read it was a Coffee tree, I was all set and ready to congradulate you on your new cauliflower. The small bud pics look kinda like that as well.
