Got Chocolate? Now's your chance to grow your own
You probably never thought you could grow your own chocolate. But now, the incredible Chocolate Plant turns that dream into a reality. Enjoy year round blooms that transform from delicate white or pinkish flowers into giant cocoa pods. Grouped together in clusters that emerge directly from the trunk of the plant, they play well against the bright green leaves. The foliage has a unique feature you've got to see to believe: leaves will actually pivot towards the sun. Like mini solar panels they move 90 degrees either horizontally or vertically depending on the sun's position.
Planting Chocolate is like bringing a tropical rainforest right into your garden!
Aside from its visual beauty, there are many reasons you'll want to include the Chocolate Plant in your garden or landscape design plans. To start, there are numerous health benefits derived from the plant's fruit.
Studies suggest that eating chocolate every day can have a positive impact on lowering blood pressure. And cocoa powder, made by fermenting the plant's cocoa beans, is said to help ward off heart disease. Not only that, the bean can be used to make cocoa butter, a rich moisturizer that helps skin stay hydrated and look younger.
Add the health benefits to all the delicious chocolate desserts like homemade German Chocolate Cake and we haven't even scratched the surface of everything your Chocolate Plant will deliver year after year.
Chocolate Cocoa Plants need a pollinator, be sure to buy two or more Cocoas!

BIG cocoa tree
I bought one cacao tree from Fast-Growing-Trees and 4 cacao trees from another seller. The F-G-S tree is at least 4 times as big and super healthy. I like that you don't have to wait YEARS to get fruit or nuts with the trees they sell!!! I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THEM ALL FROM F-G-S! It's a false economy to go for price alone.
cocoa plants
Although a bit pricey for me to purchase I am so pleased with their adjustment and growth in their new environment. With proper site prep being crucial new growth on both plants are shiny heathy limbs in less than 1/2 year. The larger size has proven to be the best option.
Cocoa tree
The tree arrived alive but I'm really struggling. An exotic plant should come with better directions.
Doing good!
So far this one is doing well a little slow to start but seems to be perking up!!
Coco plant
So far my plant is doing good has lots of new growth. I have it in a bucket at this time DNS plan to transplant to a Niger container. Getting ready for the onset of winter.
