This baobab is widespread in Africa. Although the mature plant has an enormously thick trunk from the ground up, the seedlings have a large underground swollen caudex with only slight swelling of the stem above ground. Yearly pruning would be necessary to create a compact pachycaul, which is how these plants have developed their 1-2 inch caudices. These seedlings are from East Africa and are in one-gallon pots.
