Before 1803, two plants unknown to US scientists were the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) and the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). The rubber tree, native to the Amazon rainforest, became crucial for producing natural rubber, while the cacao tree is the source of chocolate, originating from Central and South America. Both plants were significant in their respective ecosystems and have had lasting impacts on global trade and agriculture.
the gypsies owned the plantations in the southern US.
Rubber comes from the Rubber tree originally growing in Brazil, then introduced to the Far East.

Cocoa trees, which produce cocoa beans, are typically grown in tropical regions closer to the equator, such as in countries like Ghana, Ivory Coast, Indonesia, and Ecuador. They are not native to the US, but there are some small-scale cocoa tree plantations in Hawaii and southern Florida due to their warm climates.
They grow on a tree, and are produced mainly in Japan. Smaller quantities are grown in the US (mainly California), Israel, and Italy.
