Baobabs are a genus of deciduous trees.
Baobabs (*Adansonia*) are large, distinctive trees known for their massive trunks and relatively sparse branches, which often make them appear upside-down. They are adapted to dry environments and shed their leaves during the dry season, making them deciduous.
There are several species of baobabs, primarily found in Africa, Madagascar, and Australia. They are known for their longevity and cultural significance in the regions where they grow.
