Hola soy riverplants, me presento como nuevo forero. Hace unos años me regalaron un pequeño arbol y venia etiquetado como adansonia za
lo tuve un año en la misma maceta, en invierno siempre cae alguno suave helada, me sorprendi que en primavera broto energicamente y no mostraba ningun daños aparente, decidi hacerle un hueco en mi jardin. Lo plante en una zona drenada-arenosa y muy soleada. El segundo año sufrio daños por conejos silvestres lo protegi y aqui lo enseño despues de 5 años. Animo a todo el mundo que tenga clima vegnino en el mediterraneo a cultivarlo.
May I introduce myself as "riverplants", a new Forum member. A few years ago I was given a small tree which came labelled as
Adansonia za (a baobab from Madagascar). I kept it in the same pot for a year. As always, we had some light frost that winter, so I was surprised that in spring it sprouted vigorously and showed no apparent damage. I decided to make room for it in the open garden, planting it in a well-drained, gritty and very sunny spot. The second year it was damaged by wild rabbits, so I protected it against them, and now show it here after five years. I'd encourage everyone with a benign Mediterranean climate to grow this tree. (
