Harar Rwanda
High yielding with very good cup quality potential, but susceptible to the major diseases and prone to die back. This is the Harar variety sometimes found in Rwanda (no longer recommended by Rwandan coffee authorities because of its short productive life).
Stature: TallOptimal altitude: Medium, HighQuality at high altitude: Very GoodCoffee leaf rust: Low resistance/susceptible
History & Origin
Harrar was introduced to the Rubona Research Station Rwanda from Mulungu in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1956. It has performed very well in different variety trials and was finally released in 2003.Many varieties or populations share the name Harar, but not all varieties called "Harar" are the same. The Harar found in Rwanda has been confirmed by recent genetic tests to belong to the Typica genetic group.
