Delft Biobab Tree

The Baobab trees are another legacy of the Portuguese who brought it here for medicinal purposes for the horses. There are several Baobab trees in the island, each believed to be 300-400 years old. One in particular is unique as the trunk has a hollow large enough to walk into. 

Two men can stand abreast in the entrance. Baobab (Adansonia) is native to Madagascar, Australia and Africa.
