You could bonsai the tree. You would need to learn the techniques to do so such as wiring, trimming, and root cutting.

I'm not sure but there might be a dwarf stock you could graft to however you would need to look into this more.

I planted a bunch of coffee seeds and I'm planning to try my hand at making atleast 1 a bonsai coffee tree. The only problem so far is that they're taking forever to sprout :frown:. It has been around 2 months since i planted them i think
