Brazilian Rain Tree | Chloroleucon Tortum
Chloroleucon tortum, also known as the Brazilian Rain Tree, is a member of the legume family. Its appealing features include fern-like foliage with compound leaves that exhibit nyctinasty - the opening and closing of leaves in response to light. This tree, native to Brazil, can reach an impressive height of 30 feet.
Jim Moody, a Florida bonsai expert and owner of Jupiter bonsai, was the first in North America to successfully cultivate Brazilian Rain Tree. His sister-in-law, a nurse in Brazil, was amazed by the unique tree and sent Jim some seeds in a match box. Fortunately, 5 of the seeds germinated and grew into trees. However, due to its endangered status and export restrictions in Brazil, Jim's original 5 trees are now the foundation for almost all of North America's Brazilian Rain Trees. Almost all North America's Rain Trees are clones of one of these 5
