Plant Description

The Adansonia digitata, commonly known as the Baobab, is a majestic tree native to Africa, characterized by its massive, swollen trunk that serves as a water reservoir. Its smooth gray bark contrasts with its sparse, umbrella-like canopy of shiny, palmate leaves. This iconic tree produces large, pendulous white flowers with a strong scent, followed by hard, oblong fruits filled with a nutrient-rich pulp. The Baobab can live for thousands of years and is revered for its unique silhouette and ecological importance.
