Adansonia Gregorii - The Australian Baobab - Is the single species of baobab tree endemic to Australia, found in the northwest region of the country. 

Like every species of baobab, each tree grows into a unique shape depending on its environment. 

Packet includes 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.

Species Info:

Synonym: Adansonia Gibbosa
Common Name: Dead Rat Tree, Gouty Stem Tree, Kuruwan, Jamulang, Gadawori (Aboriginal Australian)
​
The Australian baobab, assumed to be a variation of baobab carried across the ocean from Madagascar not too long ago (geologically speaking) is a smaller variety of Baobab. They often grow multiple swollen trunks and typically tap out around 30 feet tall. 
​
The bark is lighter than many of it's cousins, with an orange-tint. The palmate leaves can vary from hairy to smooth, with 5 to 9 leaflets. The flowers are pale cream and green, like its African cousin. 
​
The drying fruit hanging low beneath the branches after the leaves have fallen give the tree it's popular Australian name: The Dead Rat Tree. The brittle and thin pericarp usually cracks open before the fruit falls. 
​
Gregorii Boababs have not been evaluated for conservation status. They are only found in the Northwest in Kimberley and the Victoria River basin. They are miraculous survivors of wildfires.
