Pachira macrocarpa seed
LATIN NAME: Pachira aquatica
COMMON NAME: Money Tree
The money tree is the braided trunk of the warm room, and the large, cream flowers open in the fine, bottlebrush heads. The small, evergreen tree carries the glossy, palmate leaves of the five to seven leaflets and the large, cream or greenish-yellow flowers with the long, feathery stamens in the fine, brush-like heads, to be followed by the large, woody, football-shaped pods, one of the fine, curious sights of the warm room. The tree has a long record as the fine, lucky plant of the offices and the warm gardens, and it is a tree of the open, sunny to partly shaded, deep, moist, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The money tree is a bright subject of the plant science, and the palmate leaves keep showing up in the work on the warm ornamentals. The way the tree holds the water in the swollen base of the trunk has been examined closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the warm trees, the pachira group and the members of the mallow family. The glossy, palmate leaves and the fine, brush-like flowers have also made it a fine study tree, and the money tree is a regular subject of the work on the braided trunks of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The money tree is a fine, curious tree of the warm room and the subtropical garden. The glossy, palmate leaves of the five to seven leaflets make the fine, green crown, and the large, cream flowers with the long, feathery stamens open in the fine, brush-like heads, one of the fine, curious sights of the warm room, with the large, woody pods following in the years ahead. The tree has a long record as the fine, lucky plant of the offices and the warm gardens, and it is one of the fine choices for the indoor pot, the warm courtyard and the study collection. It has been written about in the horticultural papers for the braided trunks and the brush-like flowers, and it is a fine, curious tree of the open, sunny to partly shaded, deep, moist, well-drained garden.
Keep the young tree in the warm, bright spot with the room for the swollen base of the trunk.
To grow the money tree from seed, sow the large, round seeds a centimetre down in a pot of loose seed compost, keep the pot in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then set the young plants out after the last frosts. The seedlings come through within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun or the light shade and the deep, moist, well-drained ground, the braided tree will rise through the years.
