Theobroma cacao (Chocolate Tree) - Image 25

Chocolate tree, Cacao. This beautiful tree has large dark green leaves that shade the fruit pods which grow directly from the trunk and branches. The flesh is eaten as a dessert, and the seeds are the raw material of chocolate. Hot chocolate can be made by drying the seeds, roasting, grinding, and adding milk. Chocolate beans were used as money by the Maya Indians of Central America.
This is very exciting plant, but it requires a good care when growing indoors. Please contact us in advance if you have any questions.
