Money Tree Can Also Bloom and Bear Fruit: Have You Ever Seen Its Peanut-Scented Flowers and Brown Seeds?

The money tree is actually the Malabar chestnut, native to South America, and it has now had a profound "influence" on feng shui in our country; people believe it can bring wealth.

(The tall money trees kept at home are generally over 1 m tall, and can grow up to more than 2 m at most)

But many people do not know that it also has these peanut-scented flowers, as well as brown fruits. Have you ever seen what money tree seeds look like?

Under the tree, you can smell the fragrance of the money tree flowers, a scent similar to peanuts.

The fruit is green and turns brown after ripening; one like the one above is just about ready to be picked.

Unripe money tree fruits require careful looking to be found. There are not many of them, and they are hidden at the tips of the branches.

After peeling the fruit open, you can see the seeds inside. They look a bit like chestnuts; I just do not know whether they can be roasted and eaten, but it is still better not to try. (After all, it is originally called "Malabar chestnut.")

The above are money tree seedlings grown from seed; they are still quite delicate!

In South America, money tree flowers have also been seen in parks. As long as the temperature and humidity are sufficient, it can bloom and bear fruit.

These are all large trees that have grown to 4~5 m tall, with none of the appearance of the potted money trees sold in flower shops, but that cannot hide the fact that they are money trees, the embodiment of the Malabar chestnut.
