Baobab trees are found mainly in Africa.

They also grow on the island of Madagascar. There are also species, or types, of baobab trees in India, Sri Lanka, and Australia. In South Africa baobab trees grow in the drier parts of Limpopo province. The scientific name for these trees is Adansonia digitata.

The name of the baobab comes from the Arabic word buhibab. This means “fruit with many seeds.” Baobab trees grow to be between 32 and 72 feet (10 and 22 meters) high. They lose their leaves in winter. Then the branches look like roots that grow into the air. The explorer David Livingstone said that these branches give the tree an upside-down appearance.

The baobab is a tree with a thick trunk. Its trunk can have a circumference of more than 82 feet (25 meters) and a diameter of 29 feet (9 meters). The tree can store thousands of liters of water in its trunk. Sometimes a baobab tree is hollow inside. As many as 50 people can stand in this hollow trunk. Many baobabs are thousands of years old.

Baobabs have large white flowers that open in the evening. When the pollen from these flowers is mixed with water, it forms a strong glue. The fruit of the baobab contains vitamin C. The leaves taste a little like spinach. Elephants, kudu, and impala eat the leaves. The baobab tree is a source of legends and superstitions in Africa. It supplies the people with food, water, and shelter.
