Adasonia Digitata (Baobab)

Adansonia digitata, commonly known as the African Baobab, is an iconic and ancient tree revered for its massive trunk, longevity, and striking silhouette. Native to the African savannas, this deciduous succulent tree is a symbol of resilience and beauty. As a potted plant, the baobab grows slowly but rewards patience with its unique bottle-shaped trunk and soft green foliage.

Key Features:

• Distinctive swollen trunk for water storage

• Deciduous tree with palmate leaves

• Long-lived and slow-growing—ideal for bonsai or collectors

• Native to Africa and adapted to arid conditions

• Produces large white flowers and nutrient-rich fruit in mature specimens

Care Tips:

• Light: Needs full sun to thrive; place in a bright, sunny location

• Watering: Water sparingly; allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when dormant

• Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy or cactus mix soils

• Temperature: Protect from frost; prefers warm temperatures above 10°C

• Growth: Grows slowly in containers; prune to shape as desired
