Money grows on trees!! A tree worth $1.17 million

Well perhaps not grow but if you’re ever short of a bob or two you might want to nip down to your local money tree. A money tree you say? Nobody knows exactly how all this started but some believe it brings good luck.

How cool is this! Thanks for letting us use it Rob.

This must be worth a few hundred pounds!!

Over the years people passing through the woods have stopped and over decades hammered in small coins into trees.

Mmmmm a new pair of shoes I think!

This is the English version of a bed of nails.

According to the BBC it looks like the tradition of putting money into trees came from Scotland. It seems that sick people thought that if they put Florins into a tree it would take their illness away.

Recession, what recession! Over in England they have so much money they stick it in trees. (Source all above)

Yep you’re on the right path if you see this in your way. (Source)

 A tree worth $1.17 million

So you thought the money trees we have shown you are worth a lot. Think again! This tree in London’s Berkeley Square was recently valued at £750,000 (or $1,170,000 for our American cousins). (Source)

So the next time you’re STUMPED for cash (sorry I couldn't resist that one) perhaps you should nip down to your own local money tree.
