Hi

Does someone have some experience in growing cocoa trees?

I live now in Loei and have some space in the shade of rubber trees. I found an article in Thai about growing cocoa trees mixed with coconut palm oil and rubber trees.

Apparently so, there's an old thread still running here

 

 

.....But you already know this as you posted here......sheesh....

if going in that space then run irrigation to the cocoa trees. They do like a bit of sun once older, make sure not complete shade, you can get saplings 15-20 baht, they are fragile when young, with slow flushes, but keep them moist they will be hardier in 6-8 months.

no flooding, they will get root rot

I saw cocoa trees for sale at the current small Kaset fair from 21 to 30 July. Kasetsart University campus Bang Khen

any updates on location to buy CACAO TREES in Thailand? or is it still CMX as the only main location?
