Grafted Ruiru 11 coffee seedlings
KSh 100 per seedling. Specify grafted Ruiru 11 when placing your order. Contact us to confirm available quantities and ask about the rootstock used.
Grafted Ruiru 11 combines a Ruiru 11 upper shoot, called the scion, with a compatible coffee rootstock. The upper part produces Ruiru 11 coffee, while the rootstock supports the plant below ground.
Ruiru 11 has a compact growth habit, making harvesting, pruning and managing closely spaced trees easier. Its advantages include high yield potential and resistance to Coffee Berry Disease, with protection against coffee leaf rust.
The purpose of grafting is to combine the selected upper variety with useful rootstock characteristics. Any additional benefit, such as improved performance under particular soil conditions, depends on the rootstock used. Ask us about the rootstock when ordering.
Ruiru 11 generally starts producing around the second year after field planting under suitable conditions. Grafting alone does not guarantee an earlier harvest or higher yield than a healthy non-grafted plant.
Non-grafted Ruiru 11 coffee seedlings
KSh 50 per seedling. Specify non-grafted Ruiru 11 and the quantity you require when contacting our team.
Non-grafted Ruiru 11 grows on its own roots. It retains the variety’s compact growth habit and disease-resistance characteristics; grafting is not what gives Ruiru 11 its resistance to Coffee Berry Disease.
Its main advantages are a lower seedling purchase price, compact trees and high production potential when well managed. It is an option for farmers establishing new coffee plots or expanding existing farms.
First production is generally expected around the second year after field planting. The first crop should not be treated as the tree’s full production capacity.
Batian coffee seedlings
KSh 50 per seedling. Contact us to confirm Batian availability and reserve seedlings for your planting plans.
Batian is a Kenyan Arabica coffee variety with a taller growth habit than Ruiru 11. It combines high yield potential, large beans and good cup-quality potential.
Batian offers resistance to Coffee Berry Disease and tolerance to coffee leaf rust. These characteristics can help reduce disease losses, although regular crop monitoring remains necessary.
First production is generally expected around the second year after field planting under suitable conditions. Its taller growth requires planned spacing and regular pruning to keep trees accessible and productive.

How to establish and care for your coffee
Choose a suitable coffee-growing site with fertile, well-drained soil. Test the soil before planting so that manure, fertiliser and any soil amendments match your farm’s needs.
Plant when reliable rains begin, or provide sufficient irrigation for establishment. Control weeds, conserve moisture with mulch and keep mulch away from direct contact with the stem. Maintain a feeding and pruning programme suited to the trees’ age and condition.
For grafted seedlings, protect the graft union and remove unwanted shoots growing from the rootstock below it. Confirm planting depth and spacing with your local coffee extension officer.
Production and harvesting
Coffee trees flower and develop cherries, which are picked when ripe. Harvest size and timing depend on rainfall, temperature, soil fertility, tree age and management.
Early crops are smaller than those of established trees. Neither grafting nor variety choice guarantees a fixed number of kilograms per tree or a particular income. Good nutrition, moisture management, pruning and careful harvesting are essential for consistent production and quality.
