This is amazing. I had not heard of these trees. It is sad that climate change is affecting them and that we could actually do something about climate change if it weren't for leaders, some businesses, and so many people who ignore science.

In the first image, the tree's trunk looks almost concrete! Or like an older elephants leg. It has a gray look to it. Is that normal or is the camera playing tricks on my eyes?

Great post @joanstewart! Like a few others I didn't know the Baobab tree had fruit. I had heard of the powder before, but thought it came from the roots or bark like so many other powders from trees. Definitely looks like something I need check into trying.

This is such great information. I wonder if it would grow in California and how long before it would fruit for the first time. That is some jam packed nutrition!!

Definitely everything is used @mariannewest it would be interesting to know if it could be planted for sustained living on other continents. Not sure how long a tree takes before supplying, it may be a tree to plant for future generations.

I had no idea these are found in Australia! I’ve always found them to be quite mysterious looking.
But also had no idea about their nutritional and medicinal properties. Amazing! I’m going to share this with the @naturalmedicine group.

What a great write up and photography on the Baobab tree. So interesting that the Baobab is vital to it's eco-system and provides such a nutritious fruit. Africa has so much bounty to offer, it shouldn't be so poor, but it is exploited over many centuries by richer nations and corporations.

Wealth in trees around the world we know little to nothing about.
Sadly Africa has been exploited, raped, pillaged over the years in history, many other countries of the world suffered the same fate, perhaps in the future humans will learn to be civilized!

I love trees. I did a post a while back about some of the cool trees I saw in Belgium. Do you know which tree lives longer - the Baobab or the Giant Sequoia? I've spent time in the Redwoods and am truly in awe of those gorgeous trees.

I believe the Giant Sequoia is still older, not too sure. All trees that make good age are fascinating, something humans have not accomplished yet.

Yes! There are also cacti that live to be centuries old. It's so fascinating. If only they could speak and tell us all the things they've seen in that time!

Nice.I have seen some 300 years old trees in botanical park in bangalore. I thought that as the oldest one. Now in this some scientists predicted 6000 years which is very old looks like a rare species for me.

Africa being the oldest continent it is not surprising to find hidden secrets like the Baobab Tree.
Here is the one they referred to, however this has no by what I read been properly carbon dated.
Here is the article about the section used as a pub, not what I would do to a magnificent tree, once again someone making money off of the land.... https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/sunland-baobab

First time I saw the big tree at Vic Falls I was about ten years old, since then this tree is my favourite Stephen.

Holy cow! I had no idea this tree was so useful, @joanstewart. I went through an "Africa" phase in my youth and read all kinds of books about the history, geography, and exploration of the continent. I always was intrigued by this tree for the name alone. Thank you for filling in the details!

Always more to learn, I was reading in some parts of Africa they grow lots of these trees in a nursery, when still young sell them for eating the roots, similar to carrots also highly nutritious.
Never too old to learn!

Very cool to see shots of the actual tree! I have actually had some of the powdered fruit before that my boyfriend's mom gave us. I didn't realize it was so packed with nutrition until I looked at the label. It's been a while since we finished it, so I might have to grab some more. I only used it in smoothies, but might be fun to try some different things with it next time around. :)
