Just Ordered a Cocoa Pod Chocolate Tree Here I Come

I am stoked ! They are small trees so i can keep it in my green house. They like filtered sunlight so that makes it perfect for a green house since it will help keep the temps higher too. Imagine how cool it would be to to go around and give your neighbors a chocolate tree seedling.

I don't necessarily want it to make chocolate but its a cool addition to my exotics.

That's pretty awesome. You should try making a little chocolate just to try it. Some homemade chocolate probably would be sooo tasty.

dude thats fucking awesome!!!! i saw one in DC at their green house i was so tempted to take one off their tree

I am thinking about lst-ing it into a spiral to keep it shorter for longer

Very cool. You can actually eat the fruit - the portion around the coco seeds. Very tasty although the consistency is a bit slimy.

And it would look cool too.

They came today !



It was disappointing they didn't actually send me a cacao pod. These seeds are very fragile, once they become dry they perish.

I feel confident they will grow. They where packed in a zip lock bag full of wet peat. They all seem to have started a tap root so that's a good sign. It was a long trip from Hawaii so even though i wanted them ungerminated it is understandable.


Beer pong anyone



I am going to start a grow log in the gardening section if you are interested in updates you can find them there
