I should mention that that is an unusually nice trunk for that tree. They pretty much always fat, but like cacti and succulents, some individuals come out nicer than others.

thank you,
now I get all kind of pictures searching with the correct name,
I wonder if the fat trees at cactus mart in Piru CA are this species.

Not a baobab then?

No, Baobabs are the genus Adansonia. They are too tropical to grow in the ground in the San Francisco area (or anywhere in the US outside of south Florida or Hawaii really).
