Djibril had a friend come from the USA to visit and he wanted to go to Ile de la Madeleine. I've wanted to go for some time, but you know how it is when you live someplace, you never get out and do the 'tourist thing'. Djibril opted out; said he was afraid of the snakes - but I am sure it was the pirogue ride that was daunting to him! In any case, Rob and I had a nice time. We rode over in a m...

how to grow dwarf baobabs?
Thanks for your great blog and pictures of Ile de la Madeleine. I recently bought some seeds on eBay from the dwarf baobabs on Madeleine island and I want to grow them inside my home near Washington, DC. I have grown some East African baobabs that are now 2 meters tall indoors after 3 years, and they have to hibernate every year due to their origins in East Africa where there is a dry season every year. I stop watering my baobabs from November to April every year so that they drop their leaves and go into hibernation. I have read that they will die without this hibernation. Now I wonder if the Madeleine dwarf baobabs need the same hibernation? I see from your pictures that there were no leaves on the trees when you were there. So that suggests there is a yearly hibernation for these West African boababs. Can you give me any information on this? Thanks, Dave (you can email me at: dsaum at infiltec dot com)
