Adansonia gregorii, known as the Australian Baobab, is one of the plant kingdom's
strangest (if not most grotesque) wonders. The tree is native to North-western Australia.
It is a
small, spreading tree to about 12 metres with a broad bottle-shaped trunk. Its trunk base may be extremely large; trunks with a diameter of over 5 metres have been recorded.
Has compound leaves comprising
about 8 or 9 leaflets. The leaves are shed completely during drought
periods.
The white flowers are large and perfumed and usually occur
during the tropical wet season although flowers may be seen at any time
of the year.
The oval shaped fruit is up to 180 mm long and contains
numerous seeds.
The boab is best suited to cultivation in tropical or sub-tropical climates where it
requires well drained soils.
For sale is a packet of 10 seeds.
ALL SEED PACKAGES COME WITH A SET OF SEED PROPAGATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Combined Postage/Shipping:
If you purchase multiple packets of seeds then they will be posted/shipped in the cheapest envelope or parcel rate available. What you pay is what Australia Post charges me, plus a small handling fee to cover packing materials. Final postage total does depend on the seed varieties purchased as some species have larger/heavier seeds than others so cost more to post. I don't automatically charge extra for each purchase and in many cases a number of packets of seeds can be posted/shipped for just the one initial postage charge.
To get combined postage just make each purchase on Ebay but don't press the 'Pay Now' button after each purchase. Once you have finished buying, then press the 'Pay Now' button and an option appears at the top that says 'Request Total'. Press this one and I then get an email to tell me to combine the items into one invoice for combined postage. I then send you a final invoice for payment.
Payment Options:
Australian buyers: Paypal, Bank Deposit or Money Order.
International buyers: Paypal is the only payment method accepted.
