Coffea Catura (Caturra) is native to Brazil. Despite that it stays much shorter than other coffee species, it is an abundant producer of beans. The coffee from catura beans is of the highest quality. It can also be happily grown in direct sun, whereas other coffee species prefer a bit of shading. It grows best at high altitudes but will adapt to almost any environment. Soils should contain adequate supplies of nitrogen, calcium and magnesium, and plants should be fertilized regularly. Catura, like other coffee varieties, makes a great houseplant with thick, dark green, glossy foliage.
Caturra is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety. It was discovered on a plantation in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil sometime between 1915 and 1918. Caturra has a single-gene mutation that causes the plant to grow smaller (called dwarfism). Its name derives from the Guarani word meaning "small." It is also called "Nanico." Caturra's small size allows plants to be placed closer together, and its closely spaced secondary branches, which enable it to produce more fruit in the same space.

Introduced at the 2000 International Aroid Society meeting in Florida, this dazzling elephant ear became the most wanted plant at the meeting. Emerging solid green, the 25" wide light green leaves begin turning butter cream-yellow along the center. The color then pours down into the main vein creating a huge bold Y-pattern in the center of the leaf. Color then bursts into the lateral (side) veins and begins its march to the margins. Coloring starts in spring, shortly after the first leaves mature. It sends out lots of side stolons which will root into the soil where moisture is adequate. The more moisture the larger the plant will grow.

Carrie mango is one of the best true Condo mango varieties, prized for its compact growth, reliability, and outstanding flavor. Originating in South Florida, it produces small to medium fruit with green to yellow skin when ripe, often without much color change. The flesh is deep orange, completely fiberless, and exceptionally rich - intensely sweet, aromatic, and full of classic Indian-type spice notes.
What sets Carrie apart is not looks, but eating quality. The flavor is bold and complex, often considered among the best, though it can be too strong for those used to milder mangoes. The texture is soft and melting, so fruit should be picked when a slight yellowing appears at the base and allowed to ripen off the tree - do not let it drop, as it bruises easily.

It stays compact with minimal pruning, produces consistently, and shows excellent disease resistance in humid climates like South Florida. A top choice for backyard growers who want premium flavor in a manageable tree.
