Plant Origin
It is a perennial herbaceous climbing vine that can grow up to 25 m (82 ft) high and is native to Central America and Mexico. In cultivation, the deep trumpet-shaped flowers of the plant must be hand-pollinated, but in Mexico the native humming bird does the work. The green capsules or fruit are picked and 'cured' and the immature Vanilla pod or bean is fermented and dried to turn it into a fragrant brown vanilla bean.
