Regarded as the largest succulent plant in the world, the baobab is steeped in a wealth of mystique.

Adansonia digitata is regarded as the largest succulent plant in the world. The baobab is steeped in a wealth of mystique. The palmate leaves are hand-sized.The large, pendulous flowers (up to 200 mm in diameter) are white and sweetly scented. The pollinators are bats.

Adansonia digitata seldom exceeds a height of 25m but the girth could be of the same proportions. It requires a sandy soil in a frost free area. Unless you want to use it as a bonsai.
