Baobab Friday


I had to rearrange things a little to fit Za 7 under the bedside lamp. Nothing too good for a baobab, right?


Za 7 is now 7 3/4 inches tall and 6 inches wide. After drooping slightly last night, it's back in top form, as badass as ever.


Madagascariensis 1 is 3 inches tall. It doesn't really have "spread" yet, clearly. Usually I'm very impatient and knock the seed shell off as soon as I can, but that typically tears the leaves, so with the baobabs, my new strategy is to leave it until it falls on its own.

If this trend continues, Za 7 should reach 25 m tall in about 18 years. Inshallah.
