Thanks Rieko, sorry for missing that comment a while ago and thank you Victoria, tibiprada and Karen. It is a shame that people wrote on it but this tree can handle nearly anything.

So cool!

♥ ♥ ♥

this awesome! I hate that people wrote all over it though :(

Amazing!!

They estimate it is over 1000 years old.

Oh my god, It's huge. How old do you think it is?

Baobabs can get really old, but they are not the oldest according to the book 'Remarkable trees of the world' by Pakenham. 'The oldest living tree known to science is a species of bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva), at over 4600 years old'! Pretty crazy, eh!

I have always been fascinated by the Baobobs. It is amazing that they are the oldest living creatures on the planet. I would love to have the opportunity to see one in person one day, but, really, it is unlikely.

Thanks Peter for Spotting of the Day and everyone for all the nice comments.
@JulioHarahap - There were a few other Baobabs growing in the area. Sometimes they are solitary and sometimes there are many in a forest. Here are a few other spottings of Baobabs from the same forest.

@AshleyBradford - My friend at work also starting growing a Baobab from seed. They grow very slowly at first. One cool technique he does to them (and some other fat trunked plants) is when he repots them, he brushes some of the soil down off the trunk and plants it a little higher, thus exposing more of the fat and interesting trunk.
