What is the planting distance between a cacao tree?

The planting distance for cacao trees typically ranges from 3 to 3.5 meters (10 to 12 feet) apart within rows, with rows spaced about 3 to 4 meters (10 to 13 feet) apart. This spacing allows for adequate sunlight, airflow, and room for the trees to grow while facilitating maintenance and harvesting. Depending on the specific variety and local growing conditions, adjustments may be made to optimize yields and tree health.
