Hi All, I am looking for some plants/seeds to experiment with bonsai style. I guess I would need vigorous growth, flower color is of no importance. I am thinking plants that would normally be used as root stock. I am open to suggestions from the pros/knowledgeable ones out there! I am also wondering […]
Hello Dr. Dimmitt, I don’t know seeds of what type of A. arabicum are offered by Mr. Ko on ebay. There isn’t more specific information. But the seeds are huge in compare to other Adenium seeds that I’ve seen. So I guess the form would be surprise… . vladimir […]
The only arborescent arabicum I have ever seen for sale were from C&J Nursery in California. And they were a small percentage of seedlings of the Shada strain.

Hi Mark,
The fact that no hybrids exist do not necessarily mean that they are not possible - it can just mean that nobody has ever tried. I believe it would be interesting to try crossing the two genera, even if just for the fun of it, to see if it could work and what the […]

The vast majority of arabicum in cultivation are the squat shrubby form; they will branch profusely without any pruning. The arborescent form is rare. I greatly prefer them over the shrubs; they produce massive conical trunks and take up less bench space because they spread much less. With the shrubby forms it is often necessary […]
