This broadleaf evergreen plant is native to South and Central America. Over the years, it accumulated many different names, with Good Luck Tree, Provision tree, Pumpo, French Peanut, and Saba Nut being prime examples.
Since it was created and first planted in Taiwan, the main idea around the money tree is that this is a plant that signifies abundance, prosperity, and good luck.
It can be difficult to measure just how much luck a plant can bring to an owner. However, tradition shows that people with a money tree tend to succeed more.
If you choose to share the money tree as a gift, you’re gifting another person good luck and the chance to have more riches and achieve success in their projects.
