Adansonia digitata - Bombacaceae - African Baobab - The famous Baobab or "upside down" tree from tropical Africa (a.k.a. Judas Fruit, because it has 30 seeds). The spongy acid pulp has been used as a substitute for Parmesan cheese on pasta - no cholesterol! Facetiously called the "Dead Rat Tree" because its furry fruits resemble rats strung up by their tails. This is one of the longest lived and largest trees in the world - so large that they have been used as jails in Africa. This tree has beautiful creamy white flowers that hang down and are pollinated by bats. Also known as the "TREE of LIFE" popularized by Disney in the Lion King and their new amusement park.
Sim, tudo isso é a mesma coisa: o bom e velho baobá.
