My apologies for the confusion earlier. Let’s correct that.
Theobroma cacao – The Enchanting Chocolate Tree
Immerse yourself in the tropical allure with our Yellow variety of the Theobroma cacao, fondly known as the Chocolate Tree. This mesmerizing plant, hailing from the verdant regions of Tropical America, is a must-have for any exotic plant collector or chocolate aficionado.
With an average stature of 15 feet in both height and width, this tree is a remarkable sight. Its expansive, dark green leaves form a shade umbrella, beneath which the fruit pods grow directly from the trunk and branches, a unique spectacle in the botanical world.
Inside these pods lie the seeds, or “beans”, the magic ingredient for creating chocolate. Imagine the delight of crafting your own hot chocolate from beans you’ve nurtured yourself!
Keep in mind, this tropical gem prefers warmer climates and can be sensitive to temperatures below 32°F. It bears fruit from October to January, offering a delightful winter surprise.
Add the Chocolate Tree to your garden and embark on an adventure of growing your own chocolate right at home. It’s not just a plant, it’s a journey! ????????

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
