Baobab (Adansonia digitata) (family Bombacaceae) is a tremendous, long-lived tree, which is found in areas of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique and other tropical African countries. Baobab trees may reach enormous proportions of up to 28 m in girth and a height of 25 m. Fruits are edible. The wood of the baobab is soft, light yellow and spongy, and although it has been recorded as being used for making boxes, this does not seem to be a widely used practice.
Regarded as the largest succulent plant in the world, the baobab tree is steeped in a wealth of mystique, legend and superstition wherever it occurs in Africa. It is a tree that can provide, food, water, shelter and relief from sickness.
