I grew 5 plants about 2years goo I think it was, and had a great run of fruit, ten 4 of the plant died. I have one left but very little fruit has grown. I am wondering if I sprayed grass killer near them if that was the cause. I am very careful when spraying, I normally spray when there is no wind so that the spray dose not contaminate other areas. I thought that choco's were easy to grow, do they need a lot of water?
