Aloha Chad,
Let's continue this discussion by email, hcbitt@hawaii.edu.

Can you send me a map link so I can view the general location and a jpg of the area you'd like to plant to cacao.

I am clearing several acres at 600 feet in Puna district. I am planting cacao from seed right now. How can I get grafted varieties?

 

Thank you,
