Dead-rat Tree, Bottle Tree, or Baobab
The baobab tree can live to be 3,000 years old. It has many names including bottle tree, upside-down tree, and the dead-rat tree (from the appearance of the fruit).
Elephants, and other animals, chew the bark during the dry seasons.
Cream of tartar (a cooking ingredient) was originally produced from its seed pulp, but is now mainly a wine-making by-product.
