The literal tree of life! PLANT ONE TREE AND FEED THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF GENERATIONS OF HUMANS AND ALL LIFE. Amazed by this trees givingness and it’s fruits nutrition, leaves medicinal properties, barks usefulness, ability to store water and provide shelter. Nourish the earth… it’s wild !!! I think we should grow as many of these as possible! All the oldest ones in the wild recently died.
I'm growing several baobab seeds and about 6 out of 10 have sprouted. I'm going them in the Western United States outdoors. We have a savanna like climate in Northern Arizona. I'm going to make a couple of them bonsai trees.
Gotta tell you, snails and slugs LOVE Baobab shoots, if you plant them, don’t rely on pellets, until they have at least 4 sets of leaves be very active in protecting them from snails and slugs, I use both pellets and mesh as well as a scattering of ash around the pot and active traps. Btw, shoots are tasty in a salad if you have a lot of seeds.
Can you share what is your experience on how many days does it take for the radical to appear above the ground after treating the seed and planting into the ground just like in this video?
Depends! We found if you notice a clear increase in seed size after soaking, radicle emergence can happen just days later. So try soak until you notice your seed has imbibed the water.
Hi, I'm interested to grow this tree in Indonesia. Specifically in around Jakrta, which has high temperature (coldest: 20°C to 38°C), high rainfall (can be 1800 inch anually) and high humidity (80%++ quite common). Do you think Baobab can be grown?
I was always under the impression that too little rainfall is problematic for any plant, but too much rainfall is okay. Can you elaborate why too much rainfall is a problem in growing the tree?
Hi there, if the baobabs are young and in pots just make sure they do not sit in waterlogged soil for extended periods of time, so it seems like you have got a good method of letting the top soil dry out. Also, make sure the baobabs are kept bone dry when they are dormant in the winter.
I'm going to plant a lot of trees in my backyard because it's so big. 30 baobab trees might be in the plans. They are large and quite gorgeous. I want to plant some trees that cast shadows. So, I have two inquiries: first, does this tree lose its leaves each year, and second, if so, for how long? Furthermore, wouldn't my property appear unattractive if all the trees lost their leaves? Since it would resemble a savanna or scrubland in my thoughts... 😅
First of all, that’s awesome to have a backyard large enough for that many ‘babs! Yes they do lose their leaves, and they are quite late to get them back in the spring. For example, these seedlings are still leafless and almost all other trees have their spring leaves back. And it would depend if you like the look of bare baobabs and if they match the rest of your property
that's not the best idea tbh. they take a lot of space especially when fully grown, the flowers attracts many fruit bats that will feed on a lot of your crops and poop everywhere great for the plants not so much for your health
I have a 3 year old baobab in south Florida USA the last two years the leaves have came out in march. It’s now may and in the 90’s everyday and my leaves are just poking out I’m worried
Oh no, hopefully its alright! If the leaves are starting to grow hopefully thats a good sign? The seedlings in this video are entering their first dormancy period now and its very unnerving to see them so bare, but hopefully come spring time they will bounce back
hi any tips for baobabs in dormancy? I have let mine dry out for winter and it is a bit scary with no leaves but i understand this is normal. also any tips for spring when i begin to water again? thanks!
Hi there, they are usually quite slow to emerge from dormancy. These seedlings are a couple of years old now and still going strong, they now get a once a week watering
•· we have a whole baobab fruit (like a brown hairy football), does it mean we’ll have to open this brown hairy fruit to get the “seeds” as seen in the video? how to open it safely without harming the seeds? thank you, loving your lovely video indeed! BTW, is there any online social group sharing further info on planting Baobab trees? grateful to u for teaching us..🌼🦭
I put five baobab seeds in pots and gave them all direct sunlight. Do you believe that letting the pots to receive sunlight for 12 hours a day will cause any issues?
That’s NOT a shelter for native people That is the infamous tree used as a gaol by white colonists to imprison Australian First Nations people Boabab trees are native right across Broome through Derby and well across to Northern Territory in Australia Great information on seeds tx
the filing process is really unnecessary I planted a few baobab trees that where cooked mind you, and they ended up germinating alright and it didn't take long for them to do so. he might not have an ideal climate for them to sprout so it took a while for the conditions to be perfect for them to germinate
Badass just bought some seeds can’t wait
I’m about to and my brother as well ! How’d yours germinate ?

The salad shoot tip is so cool, thank you
The Madagascar species often require different approaches to germinate. They go moldy very easily.

Do they survive outside in European climate?
Can this be grown in Pennsylvania?

Hmm, the high rainfall might be a problem.

How often do I water them? and is it OK for the soil on the top to be dry but an inch under is still moist?

@@AgricultureAcademy how tall can it grow in one year after planting?

Hai guy I need one help. How can I purchase this seeds ? From India 🇮🇳

which region?
You cant harm the seeds that easily. The outside coating is very hard
Just soak seeds in boiling water leave 24 to 48 hours. I tried sanding not very successful. I just soaked seed almost 100% germination.
I put five baobab seeds in pots and gave them all direct sunlight. Do you believe that letting the pots to receive sunlight for 12 hours a day will cause any issues?
Hello 👋 just make sure they receive enough water, they should be fine
That’s NOT a shelter for native people
That is the infamous tree used as a gaol by white colonists to imprison Australian First Nations people
Boabab trees are native right across Broome through Derby and well across to Northern Territory in Australia
Great information on seeds tx

種這個要破殼
Don't this grow naturally from the mother plant naturally
do not use fungicide, are you kidding those days are gone. Treat with a microbe mix with mycorrizal fingi.

We got our seeds from a company called Seeds for Africa, not sure if they ship internationally though
