POTTED TREE: MONEY TREE (French Peanut, Malabar Chestnut) Tree-ISLANDWIDE DELIVERY AVAILABLE
By Nature Touch Farms From Jamaica
INVITE SOME GOOD FORTUNE INTO YOUR HOME, GARDEN & FARM
The money tree (french peanut, malabar chestnut), is a sought-after house plant that has attractive umbrella-like leaves and an easygoing nature. It's often sold with a braided trunk.
The money tree goes by many names – water chestnut, guinea nut, Guiana chestnut, provision tree, French peanut, Malabar chestnut, Mexican fortune tree, dollar plant and saba nut. Part of the Malvaceae family, it's a tropical evergreen tree, native to central and south America, where it can reach 20m tall and produces edible nuts. Despite its damp native habitat, it doesn't need a huge amount of watering – it can store water at the base of its swollen stems.
According to the Chinese art of feng shui, a properly placed potted money tree is considered to bring prosperity – good fortune is said to be trapped within the trunk and the five-lobed leaves are also considered lucky. Money trees are therefore often given as wedding or housewarming gifts. The braided trunk isn’t a natural feature – in plant nurseries, the supple young stems of young plants are braided together before they turn woody.
Additionally, leaves are dark green, alternate, compound, with 5 – 9 lance-shaped leaflets, overall 8 – 10 inches in length. And, flowers are borne at branch ends on a long stem; blooms large and showy, the petals and stamens are white and resemble a shaving brush. Furthermore, the fruit is smooth, green capsule, 4 – 8 inches long and splitting open when ripe exposing 10- 25 rounded irregular light brown seeds about 1 inch in diameter. Seeds are edible, having a flavor similar to a peanut, and can be ground to make a hot drink; also young leaves and flowers are edible. Propagation is either by seeds, cuttings or airlayers. The bark is used in medicine.
In cultivation, Money Tree (French Peanut) is adaptable to different soils providing they are moist. This tree has attractive foliage, bark and flowers and can be grown in gardens and parks. It is also a popular commercial bonsai plant, its growth limited to a few feet in height. Often the multiple stems are woven into a braid as the plant grows, giving a striking and attractive appearance. Finally, the plant is said to bring luck or money to its owner.
