Baobab (Adansonia grandidieri)

My Baobab (Adansonia grandidieri) is finally grounded today. Acquired in November 2021 and for the whole 2022 it sheds its leaves, sleeping for 12 months. 😍🌱🌳



Classified as "Endangered", Baobab is a giant, long-lived tree (up to 4,000 years or more) that is highly valued locally. Its fruits and seeds are eaten, its bark is used for rope, roofing and medicinal products, and it has an important role in local culture and traditional ceremonies.



This one is the oldest living Baobab in Madagascar.
