Baobab trees are also endemic in the North of Western Australia.
Nice
The reason they stand out is because they’re seen as holy icons by the people, so they deforest around them..Sad but true..
Agree 👍
Unique --is that the best description, WHY IS IT unique why is it a MARVEL? Why are they facing extinction? What is the tree used for? Does it have any fruit? Is it easy to grow or does it need special conditions? Where else do they grow, or can they grow? Are there any reforestation programs?? How long do they take to mature? How tall do they get? How wide do they get?
The fruit of the baobab tree, also known as Adansonia digitata, is round or oval, with a hard, woody shell and a soft, nutritious pulp. The fruit is sometimes called "monkey bread" or "cream of tartar fruit".
Baobab fruit is edible and has a sweet, citrusy taste, often described as a tangy sherbet. The pulp is rich in vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and fiber. The seeds are rich in citric acid and oil, and are embedded in the pulp.
The baobab tree is native to certain regions of Africa, Arabia, Australia, and Madagascar. Some species of baobab tree can take up to 200 years to bear fruit, and each tree produces fruit on its own time schedule. That makes this tree unique one 😀
Those are not Baobab but bottleneck trees. Baobabs branch out lower and not from the tip top as is the case with these Bottlenecks. Baobabs are mostly on African mainland.
