Growth and Bearing Habits of Coffea Arabica

Abstract

The growth and bearing habits of Arabica coffee in Southern India have recently been described by Mayne [1]. Since detailed observations have been made in Kenya at the Scott Laboratories, on the growth and flowering cycles of coffee for the last three years and, in addition, the morphology of the bud and branch systems has been studied, it is of interest to compare the results obtained so far with Mayne's observations.
