Free spirited actor Matthew McConaughey plans to plant the placenta from his son Levi’s birth in an orchard according to a recent interview.

“It’s going to be in the orchards and it’s going to bear some wonderful fruit,” he says, according to an interview transcript. “When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river … and all the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan, whatever aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength.

“This tree was just growing taller and stronger above the rest of Mother Nature around it. It was gorgeous.”

This is not an unusual practice. Interested in doing it for your newborn? If so check out eHow’s page on ‘How to Plant a Placenta’.
