MALABAR CHESTNUT MONEY TREE-SIZES?
Pachira aquatica Bombacaceae. Brings you wealth, luck & good fortune.
Common Names: Malabar Chestnut, Guiana Chestnut, Guyana Chestnut, Provision tree, Saba Nut
The money tree plant inspires visions of infinite wealth. But we all know that money doesn’t grow on trees… right?
Let me introduce you to the Pachira. Also called Malabar Chestnut or saba nut, among other names, it’s often called 'the money tree.'
These trees I have are mainly in 100 litre growbags & they range in size around 3 to 4 metres. You will have your own supply soon.
And there’s a certain amount of truth in the Pachira’s ability to bring good fortune. In 2005, money tree added $7 million dollars to Taiwan’s agricultural export economy. The trees themselves can become quite valuable, especially older specimens!
Related Species: Mamorana Grande (Pachira insignis).
(Listed as Bombax glabra in the Index of CRFG Publications, *****1989.)
Distant affinity: Baobob, (Adansonia digitata), Durian (Durio zibethinus), Almirajo (Patinoa almirajo), Chupa-chupa, South American Sapote (Quararibea cordata).
Origin: The Malabar chestnut is native to an area from southern Mexico to Guyana and northern Brazil.
Tropical estuaries are the native habitat of the Malabar chestnut, . The plant will tolerate brief exposure to temperatures as low as 28° F, but may drop some or most of its leaves. Malabar chestnuts make attractive potted plants and add an attractive tropical note to patios and sun rooms.
DESCRIPTION
Growth Habit: The Malabar chestnut is a very showy evergreen tree with greenish bark that can grow to 60 ft. in the tropics. In California the growth is more like 10 to 15 ft. tall with a spread of 8 to 10 feet.
Foliage: The shiny, bright green, alternate palmately compound leaves of the Malabar chestnut grow to about 12 inches long and are quickly shed. They are larger and showier than Chorisia speciosa, the popular floss-silk tree. Young leaves and flowers are cooked and used as a vegetable.
Flowers: The petals of the very large creamy white flowers of the Malabar chestnut curl back to the base of the flower, leaving only the spectacular clusters of 3 to 4 inch cream-white stamens.
Fruit: The five-valved fruit of Malabar chestnut is an ovoid, woody green pod which may reach 4 to 12 inches in length and 2 to 2-1/2 inches in diameter, bearing some resemblance to kapok or silk floss seed pods. The tightly packed seeds (nuts) inside enlarge until the pod bursts and the seed fall to the ground. The rounded seeds are without floss and 1/2 inch or larger in diameter. They are delicious & edible raw or roasted.
CULTURE
Location: A frost-free location with some protection from hot, drying winds is the best choice for the plant. It will take full sun to partial shade. Overall, the tree is a handsome landscape addition.
Soils: Malabar chestnuts are not overly fussy about soil as long as it is well drained.
Irrigation: The Malabar chestnut needs consistent and regular watering, although logic would suggest that in California the plant should be kept on the dry side during the cold winter months.
Fertilization: Malabar chestnuts need only a light monthly fertilizing with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer during the warm months.
Pruning: The Malabar chestnut seldom needs pruning.
Propagation: The tree may be propagated by seed and cuttings, and probably by air-layering.
Pests and diseases: The Malabar chestnut appears to be largely free of pests and diseases in California. Container specimens should be watched for usual house plant pests such as mealybugs.
Harvest: The nuts of the Malabar chestnut are harvested when the seed pods burst. The raw nuts taste like peanuts and will keep for months in a cool, dry place. Roasted or fried in oil they have the flavor of chestnuts, and can be ground into a flour for bread baking. YES I NOW HAVE SOME SMALLER ONES IN STOCK.
