Uncarina grandidieri

Madagascan pachycaul. Leafless in winter, keep dry. Yellow flowers with a red throat. Hooked seedpods are a talking point, especially if your fingers are trapped in one. Indoors or outdoors in warm position with well-aerated soil.

3.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK in warm, well-drained position in mild areas.

Lower trunk soon swells, plant can be tip-pruned too.

Floriferous fattie with fantastic flowers.

You can see the infamous seedpods ripening here.

Close-up of flower.

Fattening nicely in 30 litre pot.

Spring flowering in the nursery's outdoor garden display.

Same plant another year.

Same plant in winter.

Our tallest one. We pollarded the top in winter for a few years. It's time to take another photo actually.
