Description

African baobab (Adansonia digitata) in Naupada, Thane, Maharashtra, India
The baobab is the national tree of Madagascar

Common name: Baobab, Cream of Tartar tree, Monkey-bread tree, Lemonade tree, {Vavababa वावबाब, Gorakh Chinch गोरख चिंच (Marathi)}, Papparappuli பப்பரப்புளி, Periyamaravakai பெரியமரவகை (Tamil)

Botanical name: Adansonia digitata - [ (ad-an-SOH-nee-uh) named for Michel Adanson, 18th century French surgeon, botanist and naturalist; (dig-ee-TAH-tuh) or (dij-ee-TAH-tuh) meaning finger ] Synonyms: Adansonia baobab, Adansonia situla, Adansonia somalensis, Adansonia sphaerocarpa, Adansonia sulcata Family: Bombacaceae

Origin: northeastern, central & southern Africa

Several trees in Africa are reckoned to be about 5,000 years old. It is impossible to accurately determine the age of Baobabs because the wood is soft and spongy, and has no age rings.
