is there any way to grow leaves on the stem/trunk of my money tree? "grafting"?
Ask the Plant Doctor » Money Tree/Saba Nut - leaves on the trunk
Hey Marjorie...I think I may need some clarification. Normally when one grafts in the horticultural world, a young stem (usually a different but closely related stem) is grafted into an older, basal stem or trunk. The two stems have to be closely related otherwise the grafting won't take. This is why you can graft different rose stems onto rose trunk and citrus stems onto citrus trunks. Do you want to graft young money tree stems onto your money tree trunk? Is your money tree leafless? Did it drop its leaves? You have piqued my interest here and would love to give some feedback if I can. Cheers...Dr. Robby
