Description

This is allegedly South Africa's biggest Baobab tree and it can be located near Tzaneen in South Africa. Its hollowed out trunk houses a bar and sitting room. For scale, please look closely and you will see people standing to the left of the tree. Next time I may upload photos of the inside.
Thank you for visit and comments to "African daisy by the looks":

The canopy of this tree is poetic! A creation! You have brought out the best in it here. I look at this and think about our sequoias and redwood trees - how massive some of them are. All over the world, each country has a tree such as this... the biggest or the oldest. They are sentinals at the gateway to history. If only they could speak...

I'm glad you didn't show us what's inside this ancient tree. I'd like to think there's more deep inside then a bar...Magnificent trunks and branchs.
