Does anyone know where I could obtain seeds for a cacao tree? I live in Canada so it has to be somewhere that will ship the seeds to here.

Hey I sell Theobroma Cacao seeds and trees and I have successfully shiped both to Canada. I have my greenhouse in Seattle and I can fill any order you may need. Be aware that Cacao seeds like many tropical seeds are only viable for 2-3 weeks before they rot. They need 70%ghumidity and alot of attention to grow. My 6 ft trees are 3-4 years old and just now producing flaowers and pods. The Cacao tree is not a plant to be groww outside of a greenhouse like condition for it will not withstand dry household temps or anything below 20C. cacao@poundingsurf.com

What shipping method do you use? I may wait until summer before ordering to make sure that the seeds don't get chilled during shipping.

I think it would have to be seeds. Plants may cause some trouble at the border.
