Cacaotero, amarillo (Theobroma cacao)
Los árboles de cacao amarillos son árboles perennifolios de sotobosque de 20 a 30 pies de altura en los países de América Central y del Norte de América del Sur. Miles de pequeñas flores rosas o blancas florecen directamente en el tronco o en las ramas viejas del árbol de enero a junio, pero solo del 3% al 10% de ellas se convierten en frutas. Hojas lanceoladas, con venas prominentes, de hasta 24 pulgadas de largo cuelgan de las ramas. Las vainas amarillas de piel gruesa, o frutos, miden hasta 12 pulgadas de largo y son ovoides como un balón de fútbol americano, con crestas longitudinales. Tienen unas 60 semillas en su interior rodeadas de una pulpa blanca o rosada y pegajosa. El cacao es un miembro de la familia de las malvas (Malvaceae), y su nombre genérico, Theobroma, significa apropiadamente "alimento de los dioses" en griego.
Las semillas blancas son la fuente de chocolate, cacao en polvo, manteca de cacao y licor de chocolate. Los mayas, aztecas y toltecas del antiguo México, América Central y del Sur cultivaban el árbol y usaban las semillas como moneda. Secaban y molían las semillas y las mezclaban con agua para hacer una bebida que condimentaban y a veces usaban ceremonialmente. Los exploradores españoles llevaron las semillas a Europa, y de ahí nació la industria del chocolate.
Los árboles de cacao crecen mejor en sombra tamizada o parcial en suelos ricos y bien drenados. Solo florecerán a temperaturas superiores a los 68 grados y se necesitan al menos dos árboles, ya que se polinizan cruzadamente para producir frutos. Deben regarse regularmente y fertilizarse con un fertilizante completo cada 3 a 4 semanas. El cacao es resistente en las zonas 9 a 11 del USDA, con protección contra las heladas.

Let customers speak for us
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
Great service and great product. Delivery was quick. Good communication.
lovely olive jar, attractive to keep on display. And useful too.
Fast delivery . Product exactly matches description. Easy to contact with same day replies. We will use them again.
Great job from growing to shipping
Quality was excellent. Perfect for my Dad’s grave site, honoring a proud Marine.
Appreciate the extra effort to get the product to me when needed. The delivery was made with speed and consideration, very much appreciated
