Yes you are correct! I went back to the nursery and found a small ID tag that said so. Hercules although nice is way too fast growing and huge for what I want. Thanks.

Yes I thought dichotoma also but it looks so different from what I have in the ground. Maybe some of the smaller well watered nursery raised ones have all these leaves left.

Anyone else please have a guess. I kind of wanted it to be different from what I have

for a good price. ID please?

You did very well on that video although it is hard to see your face . It is not easy to perform in front of a camera!

Adansonia grandidieri and other Madagascar natives. Second, succulents in Karoo S. Africa.

They usually need some winter chill weather to do so and proper watering and sun.
