Bourbon grows best at heights between 1,100 and 2,000 meters and gives a 20–30% higher yield than Typica, but produces a similar quality of coffee.
Bourbon has a commercially viable yield potential and growth habit but is susceptible to disease and pests.
[3] The tree can grow tall and has a medium yield potential of very good quality cherries.
Plagiotropic (secondary) branches grow at a slight angle, roughly 60° from the main (orthotropic) stem.
