I'm wondering if anyone has put a baobab tree through the bonsai process? I have several growing (they started last February) and they grow tall and thin. I've seen a lot of people let a tree grow for a long time and then chop it when the truck is the desired thickness, however, I'm wondering, is there is a way with the baobab to stunt its growth so that it actually grows into a miniature tree instead of chopping a large tree?

You could have known if anyone has tried it...



From what I read you're going to have to grow a trunk first.

I'm sorry, has anyone on this forum had experience with growing a baobab tree into a bonsai?

If you search this forum you will find a fair bit of info . There has been alot of discussions about this species

Craig,

Thank you for the information. I will read through that forum.

Wanted to post a baobab update, it’s 4 years old now, still tall and thin. I cut the root in half two years ago and it’s done well. *slowly but surely

As a suggestion, maybe if you grow it in a colander or a growbox for a couple of years it will fatten faster?

Thank you for the advice. I’m actually happy with it growing slowly. I’ll post an update in another couple of years

Is it inside or outside?

I keep the baobabs outside unless it’s going to be below 56 degrees.
