... Adansonia madagascariencis.
Adansonia madagascariensis or Madagascar baobab is a small to large deciduous tree in the family Malvaceae. It is one of six species of baobab endemic to Madagascar, where it occurs in the Madagascar dry deciduous forests. Wikipedia
Wenn einen Bäume schon im allgemeinen gefallen, dann steht man mit großen Erstaunen vor diesen Riesen, die schon mal an die 1.500 Jahre alt werden können. Die Afrikaner sagen, dass Gott gezürnt hat, die Bäume aus der Erde gerissen hat und sie mit der Wurzel nach oben zurück in die Erde gestampft hat.
If a tree is already generally fallen, then one stands with great astonishment in front of these giants, which can live up to 1.500 years. Africans say that God was angry, tore the trees out of the earth and stamped them back into the earth with their roots pointing upwards.
He vuelto a África pero esta vez como viajera , no como cooperante.
Esta vez ha sido Madagascar, el país donde la magia se convierte en algo cotidiano y la miseria en el motivo de mi próximo viaje como cooperante...
The cluster of millennia-old baobab trees in the Nxai Pan National Park in Botswana owes its name to the man known to have discovered them. Thomas Baines, artist and fellow explorer to John Chapman, captured in paint the scene in 1862 on a trip through the expansive salt pans, en route to the Victoria Falls. Baines’ Baobabs, as they are known today, are a sight sought by many travellers venturing into the untamed terrain of Botswana.
Baobabs are trees recognisable by their distinctive swollen stems where they store massive amounts of water to cope with seasonal droughts. The tree's fruits are large pods known as 'monkey bread' or 'cream of tartar fruit' and very rich in vitamin C. (Kruger National Park, RSA).

tree of life
the Monkey Bread Tree - very trendy - Superfruit - the dried fruit pulp of the fruits is currently considered super healthy - I just think - so many trees are not there and they do not grow in Europe, why you must then sprinkle this powder in your yogurt? :-)) Here are growing so many fruits
