What kind of tree is this? | Quizzland Trivia Answers

Player #831

The story goes that god gave each animal a plant, the hyena was given the baobab tree which it planted upside down for fun and that's how the hyena got it laugh and the tree's branches look like roots

I love this! I love learning of nature!

We use Baobab. I just order it from Amazon. Its a barely processed form of Pure Vit C. They basically just shake the granules from the fruit pods. Its tasty and so nutritious! I can’t over recommend it!

We have them in the North West parts of Australia also.

I vaguely remember reading about this tree somewhere, but didn't know about the edible fruit or nut or whatever it is. I'm curious as to why the part that can be eaten hasn't been grown commercially, or at least grown privately for food. Anybody out there care to comment. Maybe I'll "Google" it.

They are also native to Australia. They used to be used as temporary prisons in Northern Australia.

Its dried fruits tastes so nice, it is one of the most popular trees in northern Ghana, we had some on our farm even though we aren't in the north but in the middle belt. Our university uses it as our symbol.

Natasha

Had it in my backyard in Mauritius but never knew that it was so rich in vit c!

ChampionNymph37634, im going to say sheer size of the trunk n branches limits its potential for commercial growth

Sol

also they grow in Western Australia up in the Kimberly.

ChampionNymph37634, the berries are commonly available in powder form all over Africa. It has quite a sour taste so I mix it with cereal and yoghurt.
