Adansonia grandidieri
Grandidiers baobab
Description
Adansonia grandidieri, the Grandidier's Baobab, is a majestic tree native to Madagascar. It stands out for its enormous, cylindrical trunk and towering height, often reaching impressive sizes. The tree bears palmate leaves and striking white flowers that bloom during the dry season, followed by large, elongated fruits containing edible pulp and seeds. It thrives in a warm, dry climate and needs well-draining soil to prevent root rot. These trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures, especially when young. Direct sunlight is essential for optimal growth.
