Incredible Water Storage! Often called the “Tree of Life,” the Baobab (Adansonia spp) can store up to 32,000 gallons of water in its trunk to survive harsh droughts.
The trunk of a Baobab is spongy and fibrous, which helps it absorb and store water efficiently. This structure expands and contracts depending on the amount of water stored.
In some African cultures, Baobabs are considered sacred and are often referred to as “The Tree of Life” because they provide water, food, and shelter. They also have the ability to regenerate from the root system.
