Cacao trees typically grow below altitudes of 1,000 feet where about 4 inches of rain per month is the average. They cannot survive in desert-like weather and thrive in climates with high humidity and rainfall. These plants are fine in the shade and prefer moist, nutrient-rich soils. Because cacao trees can survive in the shade, trees do not need to be cut down in order to grow cocoa. While cocoa probably originated in the lowland rainforests of the Amazon River basins of South America, it is now found as far north as Mexico. The Amazon rainforest is an example of where they still grow today.
