Does anyone know of baobabs (Adansonia digitata growing close to the Mediterranean? They cannot take even mild frost, but as I have four seedlings sprouting vigorously I am very tempted to try them out in our garden in coastal southern Greece, where we have had no frost in the last few years. Probably crazy - but perhaps not as crazy as trying to keep these potentially huge trees going under glass here in the UK!
On the MGS trip to Israel we saw this magnificent specimen, not yet in leaf, at Kibbutz Ein Gedi, but that's in a very special climate down by the Dead Sea.
