Post your California and Arizona Baobab Trees

The largest Baobab’s I have seen in South Florida are at Young’s Circle in Hollywood, Florida. They are nearly a 100 years old and are monolithic in size. According to many sites, Baobab’s can be grown in California and I would assume Arizona. This is a relatively young Baobab, whose age I am uncertain:

Beautiful specimen in Tenerife! It is planted a bit close to the road and if it carries on like the Baobab’s in South Florida, there will be a significant struggle between Mother Nature and all that is of human invention in the future!

Pretty impressive.  My experience with Adansonia digitata here in Encinitas is they are very slow and seem to want more heat.  The last few summers it has been late June or early July before it starts getting new foliage and drops it in November or December.   They have A za  and at least one other species at Quail, oops San Diego Botanical Garden.   I just saw Matt P's A za a couple of nights ago too, in University City portion of San Diego.   He said it is pretty  slow for him, just like the one at Quail, despite being in one of the warmest spots in his garden.   I have to wonder if Gary Levine has any of the species in his much warmer Escondido location.   It seems that would be the spot here since his property is in a prime location for drainage of cold air, avoiding the winter lows that can occur in most of Escondido.
