Adansonia suarezensis
Suarez Baobab
Description
Adansonia suarezensis is a rare and endangered baobab tree species native to the dry forests of northern Madagascar. It is known for its massive, swollen trunk, which stores water and its distinctive, bottle-shaped appearance. The leaves are deciduous, shedding during the dry season. Adansonia suarezensis produces large, white flowers, followed by elongated, woody fruits that contain seeds. This tree is highly valued for its ecological and cultural significance, but it is under threat from habitat loss. Cultivating Adansonia suarezensis is challenging, as it is rarely available commercially. However, for those who obtain seeds, it requires a warm, tropical climate, well-draining soil, and ample sunlight.
