The tree of life. That is what communities across Africa have called the baobab for thousands of years and when you understand what it does, the name makes complete sense.
A piece of history
The baobab is one of the oldest living things on earth. Some baobab trees are over 2000 years old, they were ancient when the pyramids were being built. Across sub-Saharan Africa the baobab provided everything. Its hollow trunk stored water during droughts. Its bark was woven into rope and cloth. Its leaves were cooked as vegetables. Its fruit was mixed with water to make a drink so nutritious it sustained entire communities through famine. In many African cultures the baobab tree is considered sacred, a home to spirits and a symbol of resilience, community and life itself.
