Baobab trees from Madagascar

I always wanted to have postcard showing Baobab trees and now I do:).

Baobab is the common name for each of the nine species of tree in the genus Adansonia. Of the nine species, six are native to Madagascar, two are native to mainland Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and one is native to Australia.  It is also present in the island nation of Cape Verde. The African and Australian baobabs are almost identical, having separated less than 100,000 years ago.

Baobabs reach heights of 5 to 30 m  and have trunk diameters of 7 to 11. Radiocarbon dating has provided data on a few individuals. A specimen of A. digitata known as Grootboom was dated and found to be at least 1275 years old, making it one of the oldest known angiosperm trees.
