Boab Trees

We sell bare-rooted boab trees and can post or busfreight to anywhere in Australia.  

If sending by Australia Post  size is limited  to 1mt in overall length.  Trees up to 2 mt in overall length can be sent by Busfreight.  Larger trees can be purchased and freighted by arrangement.

Boabs have a large tuber which can be up to 1/3 as long as the top which needs to be taken into account if you are wanting to grow them in a pot.

They will grow in a variety of regions providing they are not exposed to frost and may be slower growing in the cooler areas.  They need a well drained sandy soil and plenty of water in the growing season.  

The trees are deciduous, and will lose their leaves and go into dormancy in the winter months or dry season in the tropics.  New growth will normally commence around September/October and flower usually start to show in November.  

Some trees will flower and fruit as early as 4 years in the right conditions.

The flowers are magnificent and have a wonderful perfume which is enjoyed for a very short time.  They open early evening and are pollinated  that night, only lasting a day or two on the tree before they fall.
