Planting "Wild" Cacao Seedlings
Volker Lehmann, the owner of Hacienda Tranquilidad, has a formal educational background in tropical agronomy and years of experience in Bolivia and elsewhere. He selects seeds from pods from trees he knows to abundant producers, germinates them in his nursery (where he also grows teak, cashew, acai, and several other plants) for interplanting outside of the core chocolatales where the wild trees are found. I was part of a crew of four people tasked with planting about 220 seedlings in an area of mixed varieties of plantains and bananas.
