Zoo staff and school children will help plant baobabs and false cabbage trees, the two chosen trees of the year. |
|
I have written all my life about that street, the frangipani, giant baobabs, lush and long gardens. |
|
Because their wood contains so much water, and fallen baobabs decompose so quickly, the trees are poor fossilizers. |
|
Large baobabs are old, old trees, but they are comprised mostly of water. |
|
The baobabs are a stem-succulent tree native to the dry regions of tropical Africa, Australia and Madagascar but dispersed widely by human activities. |
