Package Contains 8 Seeds
2026 Batch:
Adansonia Suarezensis - The Suarez Baobab - Is one of the 6 species of baobab tree endemic to Madagascar, and boasts the largest seeds -  more than twice the size of its cousins. 
Like every species of baobab, each tree grows into a unique shape depending on its environment. Suarez Boababs can be particularly difficult to germinate. Watch out for rot and try to sterilize your soil before planting. 
Packet includes five seeds and germination tips. 
California Baobabs tests every source for seeds to ensure they are viable for germination. Still, baobab seeds can be difficult to germinate and I recommend doing lots of research to determine the best process for your environment. Feel free to message with any questions. 
Because Suarez baobabs are notoriously difficult to germinate, I won't be able to replace your seeds if they rot, but I will send you a coupon code for a discounted second try at it. Just message me :)
