You are so right, ofcourse the palms are indicators but not more than that.
I just meant to say that I was not sure that it would grow generally in
all CA without much problems.
I know there grow 7 species of Baobab on madagasker each in his own
microclimate! I could find only one spot on the big isle where the perrieri
grows(maybe I am wrong).
Offcourse if you take Florida and south-CA the chances should be good
but it is just because we know so little about the specie and because
it is so rare.
Actually its strange we try to germinate this one and know so little
about it, especially when no one succeeds to germinate it.
Maybe more knowledge about the habitat is usefull.
Well, I hope we will see soon a spot on the wiki where it grows.(jarred
