THE TROPICAL MONKEY POD OR RAIN TREE - AN EXCELLENT BONSAI SUBJECT GENUS SAMANEA SAMAN
Samanea saman, commonly known as the Monkey pod or Rain tree is a stunning large shade tree from tropical America, with large, dome-shaped canopy. It is native to the Central American jungles where it will grow to well over 30 metres in height with a spread of perhaps 50 metres. The attractive wood is crafted into platters and bowls that are commonly marketed in Hawaii. The pods have a sweet, sticky brown pulp, and are fed to cattle in Central America.

A lofty canopied tree with a large symmetrical crown, it gets its name from the fernlike leaflets close up at night, permitting rain to fall through to the grass beneath. The long black pods and the leaves are used for fodder. It produces beautiful glowing pink flowers followed by attractive green and black pods that contain a sweet pulp that is eaten by monkeys in its jungle habitat It may bloom sporadically throughout the year but summer is primary blooming time.

This species is very tolerant of heavy pruning and can be maintained at any desired height by judicious pruning. It is not often realised that this magnificent tree can be raised inside in containers and makes a wonderful Bonsai plant

This one likes full sun to partial shade in good deep rich soil. It is a tropical and is not frost tolerant but as with other rain forest species it can grow indoors or on a verandah or patio until too large.
