Baobab In Summer
A medium size baobab that I have had for about 10 years. It was grown from seed by a friend of mine. The seeds are coated with the spice cream-of-tartar.

The tree is pretty young and I am letting it grow out a bit. With a little more growth and pruning a more mature looking tree can be acheived. Here is a quick virtual.

Hank,
That is a nice looking tree, I am growing a baobab from seed right now, hopefully someday down the line mine will look as nice. Your lucky to be living in south africa; to find a baobab of that size here in states is pretty dificult, hopefully you can bring yours over when you move. |

Jow, thanks for the comments. There is very nice post from Carl Rosner by Duncan Wiles about growing baobabs on the the General forum. He is very knowledgable about baobabs and I would recommend you take a look at it.
Greggles, I think I prefer the baobab the way it is. Hank |

Hank,
I read that post it was actually in response to the thread I started before I planted my seeds. I don't know why but I love baobabs and if in thirty years one of my seedlings makes a decent looking tree I will be quite pleased. |
