Adansonia madagascariensis
Madadagascar Baobab
Description
Adansonia madagascariensis, another species of baobab tree native to Madagascar, showcases a bottle-shaped trunk, but of a more rounded form than some other baobabs. It produces palmate leaves and striking red flowers, which bloom during the dry season and are pollinated by bats. The fruits are typically large and contain edible pulp and seeds. This species thrives in a warm, dry environment with well-draining soil. It is best to protect young plants from frost. Full sun exposure is important for its development.
