Where do baobab trees naturally grow?
Quick Answer
Baobabs are native mainly to Madagascar, mainland Africa, and parts of Australia. The island of Madagascar has the greatest diversity of baobab species.
The Full Story
Baobab trees grow naturally in dry tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Madagascar, and northwestern Australia. Madagascar is especially important because it has six endemic baobab species found nowhere else. These trees are adapted to seasonal drought and store water in swollen trunks. Their unusual shape and long life have made them iconic in both ecology and culture.
