MY cocoa tree has its first bean!
I planted this tree over 6 years ago.....it was supposed to be fruiting in 5 years.....but since it hadn't, I assumed it was a sterile tree....or it needed a partner.....but this month it had little flowers (again!)....and one of them turned into a pod! Now I have to wait for the pod to get nice and long....then i will ferment it...dry it...and otherwise process my little pod to grind up into unsweetened CHOCOLATE.
...doesn't take too much these days to excite me.....

YAY! Congrats on the pod! :) Miss you! xo
Way cool! I have never seen a chocolate tree before! I hope it continues to produce pods!
I absolutely love the idea of producing your own chocolate. (Should I put in my order now?) This is really very cool.
How cool is this!
