Baobab (2015)

Baobab (2015) One of the nine species of the baobab (Adonsonia gregorii) is native to Australia. Also known as the bottle tree, cream-of-tarter tree and gouty stem, these trees can live for over a thousand years. They store enormous quantities of water in their trunks (up to 100,000 litres). Indigenous Australians made string from their root fibres and decorative objects from their fruit.
