[IBC] African Baobab - Adansonia digitata
Hi Mark
I have successfully germinated baobab seeds with the following method. Make sure the seeds are scarified.The ones i received where done already, but if you are going to do it yourself make sure that you do it along the whole side of the seed.Then soak them overnight is HOT water, the ones that have swollen by the next day are viable seeds and should germinate within 2-3 weeks. The seedlings grow very fast but remember that this tree is a SLOW grower and will definitely be a test of your patience. They need very little water and during the winter season NO water at all, they are also very sensitive to frost. Hope this helps Willem Carstens Johannesburg South Africa. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Boon Manakitivipart++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
