Green Yuanbao morphological characteristics

It is a medium-sized tree with odd-pinnate compound leaves and alternate leaflets; the leaf shape is lanceolate to oblong, about 8-12 cm long, entire and leathery. The pod reaches 20 cm long, and the seed (that is, the Green Yuanbao) is oval, as large as an egg, and can be roasted for eating.

The ornamental focus of the Castanospermum australe seedling lies in the swollen basal seed ball and the sprouts that grow from it, so it must be kept clean and glossy; when watering daily, be careful not to splash muddy water, and keep the pot surface level.

Green Yuanbao growing habits

The Green Yuanbao likes semi-shaded environments and is not tolerant of sun exposure or deep shade; in winter it can be managed in full sun, which helps it overwinter. It likes high temperatures and is suitable for planting in loose, fertile loam or sandy loam; in winter avoid long-term moisture.
