So far so good. It's been a few days and no sign of stress. The root ball came out pretty much in tact though so I don't really expect any problems. He's now got a lot more room to grow though and will probably live in this new pot for a long time.
As you can see in the picture, he's got a new sprout forming at the bottom. If he's truly happy he will turn that into a branch and begin the branching process.
I was told recently that for a truly productive cacao tree you needed it to branch first. So here we go.
Speaking of branching though, there are lots of ways these guys branch. I took some photos of my office cacao trees and they many ways they have started branching. They aren't nearly so big but the branching is much more there.
I will include these pics in a future post noting how many different ways a tree can start branching out. One of them is truly unusual and nothing I'd have though would be possible. So, come back and see the branching post shortly.
