BAOBAB : Adansonia digitataBombacaceae- the bombax family
The African baobab provides a feast for the surrounding wildlife. Bats drink nectar from the night-blooming flowers, baboons eat the fruit, giraffes nibble on tender leaves, and elephants chew on the moist bark. For us humans, the bark can be used for fiber, the fruit makes a refreshing drink, the leaves are medicinal, and we can take a rest inside a hollow old baobab. This tree was probably planted in 1940.
