Baobab belongs to the genus adansonia of the family Malvaceae. Many people have the impression that baobabs grow exclusively in Africa. This is partly true. But in addition to the actual African baobab, the genus adansonia includes seven other species of trees, six of which (including the famous for its unique appearance adansonia Grandidier) are common only on the island of Madagascar, and the eighth is not a baobab, of course, but a baobab-grows in Australia.
When we talk about the ancient green giants, first of all we remember the baobabs. The famous traveler and naturalist A. Humboldt called these representatives of the genus Adansonia the oldest living monuments of the planet. Researchers say that in Senegal there are trees whose age has exceeded 5000 years! However, it is quite difficult to prove this, since baobabs do not have annual rings, which are usually used to reliably calculate the age of the plant… The most famous among the adansonia, of course, is the African species. The "palm tree" was provided by a completely absurd appearance: the height of the green native of dry African savannas is relatively small - 12-20 meters; but the excessively inflated trunks reach 10 meters across, and their circumference is 30-40 meters. And in 1991, in the Guinness Book of Records, there was a mention of a baobab with a girth of 54.5 meters.
