Item: Two plants
This USDA Puerto Rican TARS seedling is highly productive and is reported to be more disease resistant than most other cacao. This is a rare and special variety. This cacao is known for it's fast growth yet it is smaller than other in height. It averages 10 -15 feet with regular pruning after harvesting the pods. The pulp has a unique citrus flavor and makes a high quality chocolate.
Plants are in 3.5 x 8 inch deep tree pots for excellent root development. The pot in the photo is only 4.5 inches deep. Your plant will be about the size of the plant in the photo. Seedling trees begin flowering in about two or three years and produce pods after 3 - 4 years. For better yields via cross pollination order two plants.

IMPORTANT READ THIS:
Seedling plants need protection from cold weather, wind, sun, dry conditions.
On arrival of your seedling place them in a location with temperatures about (70-80 F) in shade but NOT direct sun for two weeks so they can adjust from shipping. NO direct sunlight at all!
NO partial shade - FULL SHADE ONLY!
Once again: Sun will burn the seedlings! Allow the plants a week or two to adjust before transplanting or fertilizing. If you plan to plant them in the garden, gradually increase their exposure to sunlight and outdoor conditions! Temperatures falling below 50 F can result in plant damage or death.
Pepe's Plants will not be responsible for plants that die as a result of improper care and handling once it is in the buyers hands. Contact me immediately (within at least 48 hours) if something is wrong with the plant.
