chocolate egg
The Cacao tree is very difficult
to grow, there are very few
instances of it bearing fruit
outside its natural setting which
is a band 20 degrees north and 20
degrees south of the Equator. It
also requires a temperature of at
least 60 degrees, and requires
year round moisture, so if there
is a specific dry season it needs
to be irrigated.
If the growing conditions are
poor, it is more susceptible to
the many diseases that are its
enemy, pod rots, witches brooms
which are fungus-produced external
growths and wilts are only a few
of its enemies. Rodents such as
monkeys, squirrels and rats eat
the white pulp surrounding the
seeds, avoiding the bitter seeds,
even though they will scatter them
about.
