Recently I posted a shot of a Boabab tree pushing over a wall. Some viewers
thought it was much older than I said. The local species is Adansonia
Digitata. The trunk does not have rings as in normal trees but is more like
a succulent, full of fibre, & able to hold a lot a water. The rate of growth
is very much dependent on the water supply. This one was planted on the lawn
outside the Chemlab at Foskor (my former "empire") on National Tree Planting
Day in 1980. It has been watered along with the lawn virtually every day.
