Theobroma Glaucum - GERMINATED

$20.00
sold out

Seeds were imported from Jim West in Ecuador. The fruit of Theobroma glaucum, much like its cacao relatives, is encased in a pod that contains seeds surrounded by a soft, fleshy pulp. This pulp is sweet, aromatic, and rich in flavor, making it suitable for a variety of culinary uses, particularly in beverages or as a natural sweetener in smoothies and desserts. The seeds themselves can also be processed, though less commonly than Theobroma cacao, and may hold potential for chocolate production or other by-products. The tree typically grows to a medium size, reaching heights of about 6 to 8 meters (20 to 26 feet) in the wild, thriving in tropical rainforests with ample rainfall and warm temperatures. It flourishes in regions with well-drained, fertile soils and prefers humid, low-elevation areas with a shaded understory, making it ideal for cultivation in tropical climates. The tree’s moderate size and climate adaptability may make it a potential candidate for agroforestry systems, where it can coexist with other crops and provide sustainable products.

Seeds are germinated and sold in 1 seed packs. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite.
