[Arid_gardener] Geisha tree (coffee)

[Linda Drew]

I had never heard of this plant.

A Google search indicates it is a variety of coffe --
originally from Abyssinia and grown in Panama.

If this is the same plant , I would not think it would
grow well in Arizona, but do not know.

Can the gardener supply a picture for us?
