I have been unable to find anything.

My reference book shows Baobab as'Adansonia' hardy to 55-61F. Requires full light and sharply drained soil. Allow soil of containerized specimens to almost dry out between waterings. Propagate by seed in spring. Pot specimens under glass are prone to red spider mite. Hope that helps. Dee

I have seen plenty of baobab trees in Africa but never any that have been domestically cultivated. These trees are huge and very old. Cream of tartar comes from them.
