Perrier's Baobab Seeds

Adansonia perrieri — the Perrier's 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.

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.
