What is a Lucky Bean Tree?
The Latin name is Erythrina lysistemon and it is a species of a deciduous tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to Southern Africa.
The Lucky Bean Tree is a very decorative tree but it is also an important component of the ecosystem, providing food and shelter for a variety of birds, animals, and insects.
They have been regarded as royal trees in local culture and were planted on the graves of Zulu Chiefs.
The flowering of the trees has been and still is, a good signal to the people that it is time to plant their crops.
The seeds are also used as lucky charms and for making jewelry.
The seeds contain toxic alkaloids as well as anti-blood-clotting substances that may be of value in the treatment of thrombosis.
They are very tempting for children, but should not be eaten.
