Cacao originates from South America but has now been widely distributed through out the world. Growing mainly as an understory in tropical regions that have temperatures ranging from 18-32c and does well anywhere that is not dry, salty, or cold.

I appreciate the comment, however those only grow in Central America, and this picture was taken in Singapore. But thanks for the thought.
