Re: Theobroma cacao trinitario
My friend Bryan at Montoso Gardens in Puerto Rico sells the fruits and said most customers are buying them just to sell the seeds on eBay. Good luck with those "small" trees!!!

Re: Theobroma cacao trinitario
I think most of the plants i grow indoors would prefer i move out there!! hahaha. The cacao loves the direct mister, and it seems to be getting correct amount of sunlight being off to the side of the window, rather than directly in front. But the older leaves start to discolor and eventually drop off, about the same rate new leaves grow ontop, but i'm not sure the life cycle of its foliage, if that's normal or not: my guess is no :-P

Re: Theobroma cacao trinitario
Very nice! I'm sure they will love the environment there. I've had such a hard time growing cherimoyas!

Re: Theobroma cacao trinitario
I have been wanting to grow some theabroma cacao as well as acai. Need to do some research and see if I can grow cacao inside though as my ceiling is only so high.

Re: Theobroma cacao trinitario
That's an excellent pdf, i downloaded that and saved it to my computer. I didn't see any mention of my particular issue(and i don't mean to sidetrack the thread to my plant, but might also be helpful for you). The yellow/discoloring of leaves that i'm getting. Oldest leaves only. I fertilize about once a month, or once every other month with a citrus fertilizer at the bottle's recommended 1TBLS per gallon of water. Not sure if there are any micronutrients in this fert though. Tony have you come across anything related to yellowing/discolored leaves.

Re: Theobroma cacao trinitario
You do know who named the Honeyhart, don't you? It's often misspelled but you got it right.

Re: Theobroma cacao trinitario
Great link! I lost all Cherymoyas last year, I must failed with pot size, they need deep pots for sure.
If anybody have some extra Cherymoya seeds.....
