4″ Pachira Stump

Once upon a time, a poor man found a Money Tree, took it home and nurtured it. It gave him seeds and more little plants that he sold and made lots of money, and that’s how the plant got its nickname. Thick, old, gnarled brown trunks are cut from old trees and sprout new, young, hand-shaped leaves with shiny green fingers. Pachira rewards with an extravagant, gigantic flower, one of the largest tree flowers in the whole world! Orangey-yellow, long and thin petals peel open like a banana revealing a big tangerine to red colored pouf. Originally a tropical wetland tree favoring swamps in South America, it now grows in our own tropical home collections. Take one home and share the wealth!
