Long Description
There are many legends of this mighty tree, but the most popular states that the baobab was the very last tree to be created at the beginning of earth - he[the baobab] looked at all the other trees that came before him and, although of considerable size himself, was envious of the elegant palm as it was taller than he was. He coveted the scarlet blossoms of the flame tree and so he rumbled and stamped his roots, complaining to the Creator that the fruits of the fig tree were more succulent than his. The creator tried to explain that the tree's beauty lay in its immense benefits to the earth and those who inhabit it, to nourish, house and protect the people of the planet.
Unconvinced and undeterred, the baobab continued his complaining until one day the creator pulled the tree from the ground and replanted it upside down, so that the baobab could never again see its reflection nor utter a complaint.
Forever since this monarch of the forest has been paying off its transgressions by being the most useful tree around - providing shelter, food and water for thousands of animals and humans.
