Notes: Not really a tall tree (up to 20 m.), Baobab has a trunk that can growlarger than 10 meters! It grows single in open spaces because it’s a too weakcompetitor for forests, due to it’s very slow growth. It is mostly found in hotdry areas, but this must not deceive: Baobabs thrive if planted in rainy areas,as long as the soil is well drained. Baobab is one of the longest living trees,the biggest exemplars being 2000 years old. It can survive total cuts and fires.
