| Malabar chestnut is a tropical tree native to the swamps of Central and South America. It is also called ‘Money Tree’ in East Asia. The name is referred to a story of its origin, where a poor man prayed for money, found this ‘odd’ plant, took it home as an omen and made money selling plants grown from its seeds. It is cultivated for its edible nuts that grow in a very large and woody pod. The nuts are light brown in colour and are said to taste like peanuts. They can be eaten raw or cooked or ground into a flour to make bread. The leaves and flowers are also edible. It is easily grown in pots and cultured in bonsai form as ‘lucky trees’. |

If Delhi wants cleaner winters, it needs more green cover, not just temporary interventions. Clouds may not cooperate, but trees always will.
