Money Tree Bonsai 101
11:11 PMOur Pachiras “Money tree, malabar chestnut, guiana chestnut, provision tree, saba nut,” have been very productive that
it grows everywhere. The young ones almost destroy the other plants in the
yard. I guess this tree has no season at all because it keeps on giving nuts in
which if you will not be able to harvest them, it will eventually fall and seeds
will scatter everywhere then grow. But take note, the nuts is very rewarding
when you fry the same, very edible and crunchy.
One day I look for ways on how to preserve the
young money trees. I decided to bonsai them and it looks good. Some were sold
for an affordable price.
Bonsai is a Japanese art form using miniature trees grown
in containers. Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese
tradition of penjing from which the art originated, and the
miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese hòn non bộ. The Japanese tradition dates back over a
thousand years, and has its own aesthetics and terminology.
The purposes of bonsai are primarily contemplation (for the viewer) and
the pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity (for the grower). By contrast
with other plant cultivation practices, bonsai is not intended for production
of food, for medicine, or for creating yard-size or park-size gardens or
landscapes. Instead, bonsai practice focuses on long-term cultivation and
shaping of one or more small trees growing in a container.
