look at this growth in just 3 months- everything cut off in November.

baobabs love a lush sub tropical climate in growing season

Truncheon cuttings - not the easiest propagation route to follow - but I am slowly getting there...

the 1st 3 pictures in my hand are mid July, mid Sep (still no top growth), and mid Feb...i took them out of the pots because we get a lot of late summer rain and the cuttings were sulking... not sure if i am going to repot again or just leave them out until September??

this tree has good proportions - the branching is in the right places...

Personally not a big fan of Baobabs, but I really do like the branch shapes on this one. Nicely done!

brought this tree inside as dormancy started and it started shooting again...

repotted 2 x beasts this weekend... amazing how the growth explodes when the roots are allowed to escape... there are not many places in the us where trees can be grown outside - if possible it is an absolute game changer. Going to the chiropractor soon

... another thing - potting soil is the main ingredient i use - baobabs really love a rich organic substrate, but in the same breath, they also rot easily in it if it stays too wet.
