The baobab is probably the best known tree in Africa. Its thick, grey, fibrous trunk (reaching, in some instances, over 25 metres in circumference) and large, spreading crown, seasonally devoid of foliage, are instantly recognisable. Sometimes called the ‘upside-down tree’, because of their unusual, root-like branch formations, baobabs are extremely long-lived, with some specimens believed to be as much as 3,000 years old. The baobab belongs to its own family, Bombacaceae. The bark of this tree has been used traditionally to fight fevers.PLEASE NOTE.
