African baobab

Adansonia digitata, the African baobab, is a deciduous tree in the Malvaceae and the most widespread baobab, native to sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula (Yemen and Oman). It grows in hot, dry savanna and open woodland on well-drained ground, always in frost-free areas. It reaches 5–25 m tall, but the trunk is enormous and can exceed 10 m across; radiocarbon dating has shown one tree to be 1,275 years old. It sheds its leaves in the dry season and stands leafless for about eight months of the year. Mature leaves have five to seven (sometimes nine) palmate leaflets, while seedlings and young shoots bear simple leaves that change to compound leaves with age. The large white flowers hang on long stalks, open in the late afternoon for a single night and are pollinated mainly by bats. The hard-shelled fruit contains an edible pulp. It is easy to raise from seed and grows fairly quickly when young, so it can be kept in a pot for many years or trained as a bonsai. In Japan seedlings and seed are widely sold online.
