A tree begins to bear when it is 4 or 5 years old. A mature tree will have about 6000 flowers in a year but produce only 20 pods. About 1200 seeds from 40 pods will yield one kilo of cocoa paste

The time it takes for fruits to grow varies depending on the type of fruit. Some fruits, like strawberries, can grow in a few weeks, while others, like apples, can take several months to grow and ripen.
They can grow a bit taller at the shoulder and outweigh the Polar bear by 500 pounds, but the Polar bears grow longer (Polar bears up to 11 feet long, Grizzlies only up to 7 feet long!)
The Cocoa Tree! The fruits of the cocoa tree are oval-shaped pods, 8 to 14 inches long, ranging in colour from yellow or green to red or violet and containing the cocoa beans. See www.cocoatree.org

it takes 7 years for a cocoa tree to reach ripeness enough to be made into chocolate.
Simply because our climate doesn't provide enough warm days to allow the crop to survive to maturity. The cocoa plant need a long period (at least three months) of consistently hot days in order to grow to the stage of producing beans.
chocolate doesnt just grow on trees, it is made from cocoa beans that grow in hot countries, these are long plants with coffee like beans on the tops.
Polar bears claws can grow as long as 7to8 inches and longer depending on the size of the bear.
Cocoa trees grow in regions around the equater. This is so they can stay warm all year long.
