My Chocolate Tree Garden
« on: May 06, 2012, 03:12:00 PM »
Ok, as of so far I have:
2- 3 feet tall trees
38- red strain seeds about to sprout
41- yellow strain seeds about to sprout

I opened the pods, stripped the seeds and planted them on Thursday. I looked at them today and uncovered my "test" seeds and I seen roots and 2 inches long in each test cup!!! Hopefully they will sprout of the ground here within the next few days! Im really excited for them to sprout.

Cacaoguy, what do you mean by "stripped the seeds"? It looks from your seed photo like you peeled the outer skin off all the seeds. Is this what you mean? It's not necessary and seeds sprout fine without doing that.
