Adansonia is the genus, and it consists of 8 species. A majestic mainstay of Africa and Madagascar, what is the more common name of this tree?

The Baobab Tree is a beautiful and exotic tree that any veteran of African safaris will recognize. Even weirder than these trees are their fruits, which are egg-shaped, covered with hard, hairy shells, and can weigh more than 3 pounds.
