Adansonia digitata - African Baobab - LARGE

The African Baobab is a beautiful symbolic tree, able to attain a gigantic size. It is easy to cultivate in pots, as long as it is kept above 8 C and kept dry in winter, when leafless. Leaves are dark green, glossy and palmate. Flowers are an absolute beauty. The fruit is edible.

We ship a three years old plant, grown outdoors in full sun, in a 16-20 cm pot.  This species is deciduous, so our plants will be leafless in Winter and part of Spring. Most plants are taller than the 1m limit of the postal box, so we will need to bend or prune the upper part. Young Baobabs are very resistant to pruning and will grow new main shoots soon.
