The boab (Adansonia gregorii) is related to the broader group of species called boababs that live in Madagascar and Africa. It is outstanding for its huge bottleshaped trunk that is filled with soft fibrous wood, enabling it to store water. The boab can live for hundreds of years and grows slowly to a height of 5–15 m and a trunk circumference of up to 20 m. A deciduous tree, it loses its leaves in the winter months in the tropics when it is dormant.
