Theobroma Bicolor pollination
« on: May 09, 2022, 04:40:18 PM »
Aloha, I couldn't find much information on theobroma bicolor and whether or not it is self pollinating. I currently have one seedling ready to plant and wanted to ask if it will cross pollinate with other theobroma species nearby or if I should grab another seedling and plant in a pair? There are 3 cacao trees in the vicinity I want to plant. Mahalo

What we call Pataxte, t. bicolor, is self fertile.

Yep self fertile. Mines set fruit by itself last year but the wind knocked it off.

The best time to plant a fruit tree was 20 years ago. The next best time to plant one is now.
