While I visited Madagascar in October 2004, I traveled to the south of the island and found this gigantic Baobab at Ampanihy town. The diameter of this second-largest Baobab in Madagascar is 8 m. and more than 20m. in hight.

Adansonia za is one of the six species which are endemic to Madagascar.

I grow seedlings of this Baobab in my pachycaul and caudiciform collection. It seem to grow quite well in tropical climate.
