The Baobab is one of the most iconic African trees, also known at the "Upside-down tree" because of its unusual branch structure. This tree literally looks like it was pulled out of the ground, flipped over and then just shoved back into the soil.

African lore has it that when the world was young, the baobab was the biggest and most beautiful tree in the world and it lorded this over all the other "lesser'' trees. The gods became angry at the baobab, because it was not being dignified with its size and beauty, they uprooted the tree and planted it upside down to ensure that the rest of creation was reminded of what a haughty attitude would bring. The gods also cursed the tree, that if anyone would pick one of its beautifully scented flowers, that now only open at night, a lion would attack them within the month.

The Baobab tree is one of Africa's "tree's of life" and entire ecosystems are centered around these precious trees. The oldest baobab was know as the Panke Baobab and was carbon dated to 2450 years old, this tree unfortunately has died. The next oldest specimens are in South Africa and are dated to around 2000 years old.

Highly frost sensitive, this is a Zone 10 + plant. If you want to grow one of these amazing trees elsewhere it will need to be confined to a pot or grown as a bonzai, both of which this tree is quite happy to do.

USDA Zones: 10 – 12, can be grown in other zones in pots with care in winter

Difficulty: Moderate

Other Names: Adansonia (scientific name), boab, boaboa, tabaldi, bottle tree, upside-down tree, and monkey bread tree.

Height: up to 30 meters

Bloom Color: White

Baobab is a low maintenance tree and regarded as world’s largest succulent. It can also be grown in pot, baobab bonsai is famous and is particularly well suited for beginners and if you have a large backyard, you can grow it outside. The baobab tree flourishes on poor soils, tolerates heat and has the ability to store large amounts of water, to survive in drought.

Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. 

You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
