This
is a Baobab tree. The genus is found throughout Africa, Madagascar,
some parts of Asia and in Australia. They are often called "the tree of
life". Their trunks often reach 7 to 11 m in diameter and the Glencoe
baobab (usually considered the largest in existence) had a diameter of
15.9 m until it split into two parts a few years ago.
A single tree can hold up to 4,500 litres (1,189 gallons) of water.
