The Little Prince need not have feared that baobab trees would overgrow his planet, as they grow quite slowly. In fact, their growth is so gradual that their wood has no rings, making it difficult to determine their age. There are eight species of baobab, only one of which is native to the African mainland. Another is found far away in Australia, and the remaining six are on the island of Madagascar. The African baobab is much appreciated by elephants for its succulent bark and by humans for its edible leaves and fruit.
