Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. 22 March, 2024.
The Big Tree is a large Baobab (Adansonia digitata) situated close to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. It is unusually large for a baobab, measuring 22.40 meters (~73 ft) in girth and 24 meters (~79 ft) tall.
This tree is possibly the oldest and biggest baobab in the world, estimated to be about 2,000 years old based on girth and growth ring data collected from other trees. However, it is deeply incised and there is speculation that it may be composed of three distinct tree trunks (or trees) and it may be considerably younger.
