We have a native coffee bush that grows in Florida?
Native to Florida's subtropical hammocks, Wild Coffee (Psychotria nervosa) is a hardy evergreen shrub prized for its glossy green leaves and wildlife value. Despite its name, wild coffee doesn't produce beans suitable for brewing, (super tiny, NO caffeine) but it is a close relative of the true coffee plant. Its small, white flowers bloom in spring and summer, attracting pollinators, while the bright red berries that follow are a favorite of birds. Tolerant of shade and drought once established, wild coffee is a popular choice for native landscaping and plays an important role in supporting local ecosystems across southern Florida.
