'Baobabs were first noted by 18th-century explorers for their extraordinary size and girth and for their bizarre appearance with what appears to be a tangle of roots sprouting from a bulbous trunk. Even today they continue to baffle botanists. The most magnificent specimens are reputed to be very ancient, possibly 1,000 years old, but no one can be certain because when they reach a great age they become hollow.' - editor's note
