This paper shows the study of the ecology of wild or spontaneous Coffea arabica L. found in the Harenna forest, bale, Ethiopia. In total, 61 species of trees and shrubs, 48 species of herbs and 19 species of climbers and stragglers were found in association with arabica coffee in the 45 sampled plots. Species richness was noted at altitudes between 1550 m and 1650 m. of the exchangeable cations Ca ions are the most prevalent in the coffee trees are slender, attaining a maximum circumference of only 40 cm. The population structure is suggestive of a maximum circumference of only 40 cm. The population structure is suggestive of a young development of the coffee plants was noted between 1390 m and 1450 m, and 1560 m. From ethnobotanical studies a number of issues emerged with the most thought-provoking being the dwelling number in the indigenous selections and conservations in the coffee growing districts in Ethiopia.
