'Shocking' die-off of Africa's oldest baobabs: study

Some of Africa's oldest and biggest baobab trees—a few dating all the way back to the ancient Greeks—have abruptly died, wholly or in part, in the past decade, researchers said Monday.

More information: Adrian Patrut et al. The demise of the largest and oldest African baobabs, Nature Plants (2018). DOI: 10.1038/s41477-018-0170-5

The iconic tree can live to be 3,000 years old and one in Zimbabwe is so large that up to 40 people can shelter inside its trunk.
