It's important to note that the optimal tree density can vary based on factors specific to the coffee-growing operation, such as soil fertility, climate conditions, availability of irrigation, and the farmer's resources and goals. Therefore, the actual number of coffee trees per hectare may deviate from the average range mentioned above. | It's important to note that the optimal tree density can vary based on factors specific to the coffee-growing operation, such as soil fertility, climate conditions, availability of irrigation, and the farmer's resources and goals.

Zamboanga City in the Philippines provides a range of climatic conditions that are conducive to coffee cultivation. Arabica, known for its preference for cooler temperatures, flourishes in the city's highland areas with elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,800 meters above sea level. On the other hand, Robusta is better suited to lower elevations, typically found between 300 to 900 meters above sea level. It is essential to consider the specific climatic requirements of each coffee variety to ensure successful cultivation. Interestingly, Excelsa and Liberica are versatile in their adaptability and can thrive equally well in both low and high altitude environments, making them suitable choices for Zamboanga City's diverse altitudinal ranges. | Zamboanga City in the Philippines provides a range of climatic conditions that are conducive to coffee cultivation.
