Malagasy Baobab Seeds

Very limited quantity — once these are gone, they’re gone until I can source more.

Adansonia madagascariensis — the Malagasy Baobab — is one of the 6 species of baobab tree endemic to Madagascar.

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

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

Common Name: Bozy Malandy (Malagasy)
Synonym: Adansonia bernieri

The first Malagasy Baobab to be officially described on the record, the Malagasy Baobab is also sometimes referred to as Adansonia bernieri, named after its colonial discoverer.

The trees can grow over 65 feet tall and are often over 15 feet in width. They have smooth, pale grey bark and often have irregular branching patterns.

They have 5 to 7 soft leaflets on their palmate leaves. They boast dark red flowers, the most showy of the baobab flowers, though they can sometimes be yellow as well.

The fruits are usually quite small with a medium-thick velvet-like, woody pericarp/skin.

Similar to Adansonia za in many ways except their unique fruits. The Malagasy Baobab is classified as "Near Threatened".
