The Full Story
A faster-growing and more vigorous varietal than other common types, the Forastero cacao tree is Queen of the chocolate industry, producing 80% of the world’s cacao bean supply. While many claim that Forastero is inferior in quality and taste to its siblings, others argue that the flavor of the Forastero is actually quite delectable and that it is only less valued because of its abundance.

This tree will grow to between 12 and 15′ tall and produces large yellow pods that contain the earthy cacao bean.
Although revered for its teeny beans, the cacao’s fruit pods also possess a delicious, tangy pulp that should not be missed.
The Forastero is a great choice for beginner gardeners or those who are new to growing fruit trees.
