Yellow Dwarf Catuai

Common Names: Dwarf Coffee, Yellow Catuai, Yellow Catuai Coffee

Dwarf Yellow Catuai is a compact, high-yielding coffee variety that thrives in Perth microclimates. It produces striking bright yellow coffee cherries instead of the traditional red ones, offering a sweet, smooth flavour profile. Its naturally compact size makes it perfect for home gardeners who want to grow and harvest their own coffee beans in small spaces, pots, or patio settings.

Features:

Ideal prune height range: 1.5-2.5m

pH growing conditions: 5.5 to 6.5

Shade or full sun: Prefers morning sun or dappled shade in Perth Metro

Minimum pot year 5: 45L pot

Time to fruit age: 2-4 years

Yellow Catuai coffee plants feature glossy, deep green foliage and clusters of fragrant white flowers that bloom before setting fruit. They handle Perth's warm summers well when given protection from harsh afternoon sun and heavy winter frosts. Their manageable size allows for easy harvesting, making them a productive and ornamental addition to courtyard gardens or sheltered orchard beds.

Interesting Notes:

Yellow coffee cherries are prized by specialty coffee growers for their high sugar content and distinct cupping quality. The fruit pulp surrounding the bean can also be dried to brew cascara tea, giving you a second harvest from every plant.

Dwarf Coffee is a favourite among rare fruit enthusiasts and a versatile, beautiful feature plant for any productive food forest.
