Product Description

Pachira aquatica:

Pachira aquatica is a tropical wetland tree of the mallow familyMalvaceae, native to Central and South America where it grows in swamps. It is known by the common names Malabar chestnut, French Peanut,Guiana chestnut, provision tree, saba nut, monguba (Brazil), pumpo(Guatemala) and is commercially sold under the names money tree andmoney plant. This tree is sometimes sold with a braided trunk and is commonly grown as a houseplant, although more commonly what is sold as a "Pachira aquatica" houseplant is in fact a similar species, P. glabra.

Description:

The tree grows well as a tropicalornamental in moist, frost-free areas, and can be started from seed or cutting. It is a durable plant and adapts well to different conditions. The pachira needs plenty of sunlight, though it is important to avoid direct sunlight in summer months, as the leaves may get sunburned.
The fruit, a nut, is of a brownish colour and can measure up to *2 inches (**0 mm) in length and 2.5 inches (*4 mm) in diameter. Seeds grow within until such time as the nut bursts, sending the seeds forth and propagating. The nut is edible and often eaten raw or roasted, with a flavor similar to a European chestnut; it may also be ground and made as a hot drink. The fruit is not eaten.
