Thats what they say, but trust me, there has been NO money from this tree!!!
This is a well known house plant, other name Jade plant - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_plant

OOhh I have just discovered that this = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachira_aquatica is the original money tree!! Must look for this, maybe I will get rich ;-)
