Adasonia Gregorii (Boab) #34

Bring the awe-inspiring presence of the Australian outback to your landscape with the Adansonia gregorii, commonly known as the Boab or Australian Baobab. This majestic tree is a symbol of resilience and longevity, instantly recognizable by its unique bottle-shaped trunk and ability to thrive in harsh, arid environments.  

Key Features:

• Iconic Bottle-Shaped Trunk: The Boab's most distinctive feature is its massive, swollen trunk, which serves as a water reservoir, enabling it to withstand long periods of drought. These impressive trunks can grow to enormous proportions, sometimes exceeding 10 meters in circumference.  

• Sprawling Canopy: The Boab's branches spread wide, creating a majestic canopy that offers welcome shade in the hot Australian sun.

• Seasonal Foliage: The leaves are palmate, with 5 to 9 leaflets, and emerge during the wet season, adding a touch of lush green to the landscape. They fall off during the dry season, revealing the tree's unique silhouette.

• Unique Flowers: In the summer months, the Boab produces large, white, fragrant flowers that bloom at night, attracting pollinators like bats and moths.  

• Historical Significance: Boab trees have played an important role in Aboriginal culture for centuries, providing food, water, and shelter.  

Cultivation:

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun exposure.

• Well-Draining Soil: Requires a well-draining soil mix to prevent root rot.  

• Watering: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings
