Ya, Donald, by the last name of Trump! 
or..
Have you ever dreamed of having a Money Tree? A Money Tree that could literally drop money into your lap? That could bring you the luxuries and riches you so deserve?
If you think it's impossible for money to fall out of a tree, think again. The California Astrology Association is offering an original Money Tree amulet that could bring you the financial windfall that you've been waiting for.
So, if you've been waiting for something to bring you luck and stimulate your earning power, wait no more. Your very own Money Tree is waiting to bear fruit and drop riches upon you.

And, Donald, if you want to order a money tree, here is a sample..
Your wish is my command

Lol, who would think, Shop? I'll bet Donald did not expect all of this!
RE: See ebay item: 2964478123
Omigosh! That item is SO COOL! I've seen other so-called "Money Trees" given as gifts, but they didn't appear to be done as nicely as this one!
OK, who besides me are thinking of sniping this one?!
I dunno....winning this one would almost seem to me like buying a $10 bill with a $20 bill....it just seems to be a bad value from the start! It still does look pretty cool though!
Maybe if I buy it, "reverse engineer" it, and make more to sell on ebay to get my money back!? Or maybe write instructions, "How to make your own Chinese Money Tree" and sell those on ebay to get my money back....
Ooops. Thinking out loud again!...

Heh, I always thought money trees were those 7 leafed plants you have grow up in the hills.
There are some not to bright people that try and grow them in their homes or yards but they always seem to be getting in trouble. Go figure.
Here's an article to help you get started growing your money trees:

Let me know when you find one. I'll gladly buy it from you.
well, yeah the old "7 leaf" is a "money tree", but it's also an "end-up-in-a-cell-as-Bubba's-girlfriend-tree"...
I think I prefer making money the old fashined way...printing it out on my photo printer.

Ha! I've been signed up with them to get one for about a year!
Bjones, you ordered one of the pines?
BJ, let me know when you've got seeds!!! My next challenge... (grin)
...of seeds, I went back & read that article about the trees. I thought it a humorous picture in my mind when the article described dangling scientists from a helicopter to harvest the seeds! Only someone with a Dr.'s degree would come up with such a silly solution!

Hey, botanists have to get their excitement SOMEWHERE! (grin)
You'd be amazed how fanatical people get about the latest variety of the plant that looks just like the one already growing on their patio... Or maybe you wouldn't!

Jabber, isn't that the truth! 
Nice subject to get a conversation going and either you are pulling everyone elses leg that you believe they grow back every year or you are just tooooo funny.
Maybe someone always gave it to her so it seemed to grow back. You can make yours with a nice bare branch looking like a small tree with bare branches. Get a base to nail, glue or whatever you can drum up for your tree to make it stand up. Fasten,nail,glue that tree tot the base. You can use a flower pot with foam glued in it and then......Spray Paint (Gold, Silver or White) spray that tree,get some dollar bills and rol them up or fold in small fans then tie with ribbon of your choice in color and now hang the money (I'd tie it on with the slender ribbon you used to fold or roll the bills.) and put them all over the tree like leaves. Fans look nice cause you can pull the folds out and they are fancier.) Give the tree now to the person of your choice, you can wrap in the clear big cellophane that is wide so everyone wont be picking the leaves before it get to the person it is for.
There you go .. That is the money tree. Most people have them in closets and use them at parties, weddings, anniversarys, birthdays, confirmations, showers or just to fool someone that thinks they grow back every year.

Yes, I'm on the list to be notified when they become available!
I think they will be offering seedlings as they are propagating by tissue culture (from what I understand). As it stands, I'm one of the very few people that doesn't have a pine tree in their yard (I live in the Pacific North West) ... so I thought if I were to plant a pine I would plant something unusual
I've also thought about starting a redwood in the greenhouse ... in a hundred years it'd be HUGE! Think I'll stick to the 'previously thought extinct' varieties 
LMAO!!!! That was pretty cute, bj! ....You plant pines, we cut them down! Grub worms and chinch bugs seem to like living in the same place as pines here so if you want grass, you deep six the pines!

After Christmas the girls in my office took the little plastic tree and started pinning bills on it - even ( eye) wrote my name on one and gave it a staple. The idea being it would be taken to the next office baby shower as a gift. It got to be quite a big thing and on Payday it was hard to find an empty branch. It Bloomed...The Office manager wanted it stopped..but the girls insisted. The BOYS had their gun raffles - they had the Money Tree - now called the Baby Tree.
After about five times somebody SNITCHED IT. After that, the law came down, no church candy bars NO S'mores from the Girl scouts NO
raffles or Money Trees......The healing was slow..Not many cookies came in that year for
the Holidays. From then on .... we just
went back to passing an envelope - it wasn't the same as the ....Money Tree That Bloomed.

Is money the root of all evil, or is it that lack of money that causes all evil?
No, Rick, many good people have no money..many good people have a lot of money...some people themselves are the root of all evil....fortunately, they are in the minority!
...that Rick may not know this (perhaps he's baiting us?!? ), but the actual quote as it is in I Timothy 6:10 of the Bible (KJV) is:
I don't LOVE money, but am quite fond of it!

Yes, and in that statement is the difference, Jabber!

Perhaps she was talking about the eucalyptus that has big round leaves that look like coins. They are the young tree leaves. Full grown trees lose the round ones. There area two types. One you see in the hobby shops a lot. Leslie probably knows the name of the two of them.
