BAOBAB

The Baobab is the most widespread tree species of the genus Adansonia, the baobabs, and is native to the African continent. The long-lived pachycauls  are typically found in dry hot savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa.

Their growth rate is determined by ground water or rainfall, and their maximum age seems to be in the order of 1,500 years. They have traditionally been valued as sources of food, water, health remedies or places of shelter and are steeped in legend and superstition.  European explorers of old were inclined to carve their names on baobabs, and many are defaced by modern graffiti.

Common names for the baobab include dead-rat tree (from the appearance of the fruit, monkey-bread tree (the soft, dry fruit is edible), upside-down tree (the sparse branches resemble roots) and cream of tartar tree (cream of tartar).
