I was wondering as cacao is of the sterculiacae family whether it could be grafted to the native sterculia quadrifida (peanut tree) to survive in cooler climates?

Now there's a creative idea Clint. Theoretically it should work.

Do not think different rootstock would help this tropical plant survive frosts.
It is in Malvaceae , Sterculia is now reclassified .
