Ripening Coffee Cherries!

Well, this sure is fun.  After several years of raising Coffee trees, I have finally been rewarded with some ripening cherries.


While several of my other Coffee trees have cherries growing on them, the berries on this plant are the only ones beginning to ripen so far.  This is a caturra variety (Coffea arabica var. caturra).  The cherries on my other two caturras and all my Konas are still bright green.

This beautiful red color is why they call them cherries.  My camera is not doing the actual hue justice.
