Baobab origin

Baobab trees originate from the vast savannahs of Africa and are among the largest in the world that can be up to 5,000 years old. Fully grown trees can be approximately 23 meters tall with a diameter of 12 meters.

The huge baobab tree has always played an important role in people's lives and the development of societies on the African continent. The trees adapt to their surroundings and have the ability to store water from the rainy seasons in their thick trunk. When the drought comes, the tree uses the stored water to produce the fruits. The baobab tree is often called the tree of life.
