BONSAI NEW EASY METHOD #40-BAOBOB TREE

BABOBO TREES GROW IN MADAGASCAR,AFRICA, AND AUSTRAILIA. THEY HAVE A HUGE, AND RELATIVELY SHORT TRUNK, WITH A WILD LOOKING MOP OF TOP BRANCHES THAT EXTEND LATERALLY. THEY PRUCE A LARGE FRUIT WHICH SOMETIMES LEADS THE TREE TO BE CALLED A MONKEY BREAD TREE. THAT IS THE NAME GIVEN TO THE FRUIT, WHICH IS LARGE, HEAVY,NUTRICIOUS AND HIGH IN VITAMIN C. I HAVE NEVER TRIED A BAOBOB AS A BONSAI BEFORE, SO THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING. THESE WERE PURCHASED AS SEEDLINGS ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I HAVE BEEN GROWING THEM IN POTS UNTIL I THOUGHT THEY WERE READY TO BE TRANSPLANTED. (I PLANTED THREE FULL SIZE TREES ALSO). ONCE THEY GET ESTABLISHED IN THE SPHAGNUM MOSS, I WILL START TO TRY TO TRIM THEM TO A SMALLER SIZE.(***PLEASE VIEW PART 12 ABOUT THE WARNING ON HANDLING SPHAGNUM MOSS BEFORE YOU WORK WITH SPHAGNUM MOSS***).

any idea how to do it with an avacado tree?

[bonsai9723]

I have terrible luck with trying to grow avocadoes outside. You can certainly try to bonsai one. I just have trouble with them here in Florida (where they should grow well).

how long does it take for the baobab to sprout?

Oh my god.. Jerry used a traditional Bonsai pot! That's odd. Haha Just kidding. Love your vids!
