Baobabs, week 3


This is the current state of Adansonia digitata, six days after breaking the surface.


And this is Adansonia za, three days after breaking the surface.

I count my plants as "sprouted" when there is a root in the ground and live flesh showing above the ground. So hereafter, any reference to the baobabs' age will be calculated that way.

I gave them each 250 mL of water yesterday. They don't seem to mind.

Just a few more weeks and they'll be 50 m tall! Booya! (Of course not. Baobabs live 800 years; I imagine it must take at least half that long to reach their full height.)
