Baobab Tree Adansonia za madagascariensi plant

Adansonia za madagascariensi baobab tree is native to Madagascar. These are considered fat plants, caudex form plants,  due to their thick trucks and root system. The plants offered by AdeniumRose Company are 2 to 3yrs old.  The roots are awesome (we re-potted them in January 2018). AdeniumRose Company grow these from seeds in shallow pots to force the roots to get fatter instead of growing deep. Bonsai lovers get them while you can!

Baobab Tree Soil, Sun and water

The Baobab tree grows in arid lands that get seasonal water. During the none growing season they shed all their leaves. In late spring they the leaves emerge from the tips of the branches.  Once they are 1.5 to 2yrs old they will take 100% direct sunlight and tons of water during the summer.

The soil must be fast draining and allow to dry between watering.   During the dormant season we water them once a month.  We only grow these in pots to better control their environment.  We highly recommend bringing the Baobab tree in during winter when the temperatures get below 45 degrees.

Availability of the Baobab tree

AdeniumRose Company  had their first release of these plant in Spring of 2018. The plants offered are 2.5 yrs old well seasoned to 100% sunlight.  Once these are gone it will be at least 1.5yrs before we will offer more of this size.   We started with 49 of the Madagascar Baobab tree plants and now we have less than 7 left.  They do very well in shipment.   Currently, we are cultivating more of the Adansonia za madagascariensi variety of the Baobab tree and others for future release.

First notice:  We are adding a new name to our company to better reflect offerings of more Rare exotic and strange Plants.  Yes, we will keep the AdeniumRose name but will add a DBA (“Doing business As”).  Same company – same owners!
