So.. all winter long my adansonia (baobabs) have been looking the same way as they were before dormancy, but today I was repotting plants and sowing seeds and i found that they had all made some big fat tubers underground!!
Do these caudiciform parts grow out of the ground or should i have planted them above the ground?

Re: Adansonia
If there are multiple 'tubers', than those are its (succulent) roots.
You can lift them above ground slightly, but that is not the natural look. If you lift the plant, it will look more like the so-called bonsai-ficus you can get at the mall.
You typically plant them above the soil from the point where there is one stem/trunk. Admittedly, it will take ages (if at all) to get a fat trunk.

Yah sorry for not being clear. the "tuber" i was mentioning is actually the fat taproot it has. Thanks for the reply!
