"Knowledge
and wisdom are like the trunk of a Baobab tree. No one person's
arm span is great enough to encompass them." Saying
from the Volta region of Ghana

No
matter how you look at it, The Baobab tree is one of Nature's truly
remarkable creations. The Baobab has evolved in a way that lets
it make optimum use of very scarce resources. It flourishes and
produces fruit on the semi-arid savannahs of Sub-saharan Africa. |

In fact,
the Baobab is among the largest and longest-lived trees on earth.
It survives prolonged droughts by storing water in its massive,
fibrous, sponge-like trunk which can be up to 30 to 60 feet in diameter.
That trunk can be hollowed out to make a shelter, or cut into water
containers. When in leaf, the Baobab produces an edible fruit that
has the highest concentration of Vitamin C of any plant. The leaves
themselves are rich in Vitamin A and the shade of those leaves and
branches provides a relatively cool refuge for other living things
in the sub-Saharan heat. |

Baobab
trees alive today were growing when the Roman Empire ruled Europe,
northern Africa and the Middle East. When their leaves have fallen,
the gnarly, twisted trunks and branches of Baobabs stand like sentinels
on the arid landscape of Africa. For millennia people have gathered
below the branches of the Baobab to debate and discuss important
issues and ideas. For some cultures it is the tree under which man
was born. The Baobab tree is a symbol of endurance, conservation,
creativity, ingenuity and dialogue.
