This was from our previous trip, but Ill have a look! Yes, that poor tree, I never saw it in its glory, but from the pictures it must have been magical sight...

Your welcome. Too bad about the tree. The trunk looks pretty rough in the photo. Any chance you can add a recent pic of it?

Yeah, you know what Dan, you are right. That tree has actually fallen down - it cracked open and fell apart! Im going to update the specie! Thanks a million!

Love Baobabs! From what I read, the Glencoe baobab refers to a single tree near the Glencoe Farm. I'm not sure if this is that tree, but it is the same species of Adansonia, A. digitata, as there is only one native species of Adansonia on mainland Africa.
