Adansonia digitata "Baobab"

Adansonia digitata "Baobab" Seeds

Adansonia digitata, also known as the African Baobab, is a remarkable and recognizable tree that stands out for its enormous, thick, and swollen trunk, which can grow up to 28 meters (92 feet) in circumference, and its broad, spreading crown that remains leafless during the dry season.

This tree produces large, fragrant white flowers that are pollinated by bats, which later develop into woody fruit with powdery flesh that is commonly used to make a refreshing lemonade-like drink.

Although this species can be grown in cultivation, it thrives best in the drier tropical regions.
