Tree Tuesday: Baobab, a weird tree
I've only gone to Africa once in my life and probably that's why I got so impressed with baobab trees (Adansonia digitata), they're unique and very distinctive!
This can be one of the weirdest trees on Earth!!
I got so fascinated that I took several photos
This is my favorite!!
Some details...
and the flower
(sorry, it wasn't fresh)
They also barely survive in the city

I posted a cousin of the BAOBAB on tuesday called a ceiba and it is massive. Go see it? Let's exchange sotries. I am following you now. !!
Thank you so much!! I'm very interested in your stories about planting trees to solve climate change!!
I always loved those trees!
They are rare and from what I saw in your post can only thrive near water :o
Excellent photos ! Loved them
The photos "close to water" don't reflect their need of moist soils. I didn't get that impression. Besides that, I heard this plant storages lots of water in its trunk which reminds me a cactus!! Ahah ;)
OOOOH so that's why the trunk its so big :o
Probably ;) Ahah
The last picture is very... well... interesting we can say ^^
It reflects how
unrespectful these people are to the tree!! It deserved a photo, it can't be only beautiful places!! ;)I agree. It is important to show both pluses and minuses :)
Supoño que nunca poderei facelo (ainda que quero intentar)... digo tocar un #baobab.
O nome soame ó seu aspecto. Árbore barriguda, ¡Baobab!
Grazas por partillar.
Ou a árvore que tem as raízes viradas para cima! É mesmo estranha! Não é preciso agradecer! ;)
Nice!
Lovely pictures!
I'd love to hug it and stay near it for hours:)
Me too, I didn't have that chance...hope I can repeat it one day!! Thanks for dropping by! :)
Wow. That is a pretty neat tree. I have never seen one in real life, they do not grow here in the US. But Disney has a really cool man made baobab tree at one of their parks here in Florida.
Beautiful tree dear friend @ liliana.duarte congratulations for these beautiful pictures, thank you very much for this gift
Have a nice day
Thank you!! Have a nice day as well!! :))
I've never seen one like this big tree in my life..
Nice story also..
They are pretty fascinating!! Thanks!!
