Mabuyu is what we call them in Zambia. The site of one these trees has actually been preserved a heritage site (Ing'ombe Ilede) because it served as a 16th century trading post in South Central Africa.
It's called ubuyu in kiswahili, and Tabaldi in Omani Arabic
Thank you for sharing
Mavuyu is what we call them in neighbouring Zimbabwe ☺, in Shona or chiShona language
Mbuyu in Limpopo
and kibuyu in Swahili means container that stores water
Baobabs are succulents!?
This is the first time I have ever heard this.
Thank you for increasing my knowledge.
Well after verification, Baobab are Malvacea so not a succulent at all .... but a very tree-stuff plant. I dont know why they said that thus :(
Baobab are in the same family of cacao tree, durian, hibiscus and linden !!!
@@siggyvdz8213 what is tree-stuff?
@Lilith google is your friend my dear xD

BAOBABS!!! FINALLY GETTING THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVES
WHY DO THEY DESERVE IT?? AND WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING??
@@lebronjamesharden3958 Love your reply! I burst out laughing.
As a kid I was genuinely terrified of these trees cause of the passage in The Little Prince where it says they could cause a planet to split apart
BRUH =|
Same here...
Haha French people
@@tymeng683, Qui est-ce que c’est français ici ? Je ne vois personne.
I've first learned about Baobab through Little Prince. Decades later, I met my first Baobab. Believe me I hugged that tree.
They sold these seeds outside my school for a couple of shillings when I was younger! Delicious! If I knew they would be marketed as a superfood 30 years later, I would have planted a few of them back then…
Shillings? How old are you??
@@sillycheese301 The shilling is the name of multiple currencies to this day. The poster probably grew up in a country where it is.
@@sillycheese301 in the uk, not that old!
I have about 30 I planted 5 years ago digitata variety.
Those so called «superfood» are mostly marketing ploys based almost entirely on pretend «benefits» that are attributed to their consumption. Almost as baseless as the use of rhinoceros horn to cure impotency or as some panacea medicament.
Baobab has become my favourite tree since I was 7 when I first read Le Petit Prince. Contrary to their representation on the novel, Baobabs are majestic trees that deserve the title “The Tree of Life.”
i read them in a "I wonder why" book. real interesting fellers!
I know about these trees because in _Madagascar,_ King Julien's throne room is in a plane crashed atop a massive one.
Absolutely prehistoric looking trees
Succulent*
As prehistoric as yo' mom
@@yourdad5523 ahahahaha
@@yourdad5523 yo mama’s so old
Even educational channels get immature comments.
I remember first reading about these trees on The Little Prince by Antonie de Saint Exupéry, where the prince needs a goat to eat the baobab sprouts to keep them from completely covering his little planet.
I didn't know these even existed. I'm only very familiar with the local plants in Europe. Thanks for educating me on flora on other continents!
Other countries and continents can have some incredible, almost unbelievable plants. Another channel to watch for unusual plant info is Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t. His videos tend to be longer and more vulgar (he’s a Chicago Italian with the accent and attitude to match), but he has some really cool ones from South Africa, Chile, Western Australia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, New Caledonia, and several US states.
Doesn't it seem time for Tasha to get her own channel for plants. I'd watch both and we'd all get more of what we want.
I agree, but it's probably for branding and getting her content seen by more people.
Plantologic?
@@LorgeDelta I hate to burst the bubble, but Tasha already has her own channel.
I thought this was love nature
@@rinzo2009 Oh no, my bubble is so burst.
I had no idea they were succulents!
Yet they still call it a tree!
@@biohazard737 People call tomatoes vegetables and bananas fruit when they're both technically berries. People will call things whatever based on how they look like or what they're used for no matter the real scientific truth.
@@Arthion i just learned a banana is a berry lol
The taste of the Baobab fruit really surprised me. It tasted like a citrus jogurt for me. It would definitvely become a popular ice cream or candy flavor if it was better kwown.
Don't make it hot next thing we know we gunna have yuppie tree huggers while this tree out of existence and complain later
Human's likely transported Baobab seeds to Australia as a food source but some must have germinated. The indigenous story of how the baobab came to be is also the same in Australia as in Madagascar and Africa.
If it was brought with the Australian Aboriginals on their track it would have appeared elsewhere on their way there. I think it was a far more recent introduction still ancients probably but not 70,000 years ago ancient.
1. Marooned East African sailors from the height of the Swahalli coast.
2. Marooned Tamil sailors on their way back from Swahalli coast.
3. Marooned Malagasy sailors blown waaaaaaaaaaaaay oof course.
@@ANTSEMUT1 The only people I know who travel to Australia are the Malaysians/indonesians in a Sea Cucumber trade. I forgot what Island, and looked it up right now. Sulawesi. Of people who most likely visited that has Baobob trees would be Arabs. But My belief, with such long lived trees, none of these explanations are sufficient.
This tree got style
This tree got grace
This tree will help you
re-hydrate!
They look so dang cool.
-I call That a Huge F-ing tragedy
This quote gives me life
I first read about Baobab trees in the novel “The Little Prince”, but I don’t think I’ve seen any photos of them until this video.
The baobab is also featured in Disney's 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨.
Yay, someone mentioned it so I don't have to! 😄
Yeah, Rafiki’s tree
Weird Explorer did a fantastic video where he travelled to the Avenue of the Baobob you showed here in a few stills, his channel revolves around exotic (to us) fruits. Great to hear from Tasha as always, long live Floralogic!
I call that, I call that, I call that.
Tasha The Amazon is smart, charismatic and beautiful!
Never forget the original hydro homies..
we need to save, preserve and plant those trees i want to see a hughe baobab forest in my life time !!! ...
We have small ones here in Queensland Australia. Somewhere around 2-3 metres tall, we call them bottle trees because of their shape and ability to sequester water.
The accepted pronunciation is bay-o-bab; I've never heard it pronounced bow-bub before. In Afrikaans, they are known as kremetart because the powder in the pods is a natural form of cream of tartar.
The pronunciation could be an accent thing, sometimes it happens.
Fellow Afrikaner here, I have only heard it pronounced "bow-bub" - the "bay-o-bab" seems to be limited to American/European pronunciation.
Not according to either the Oxford Dictionary of English or the Oxford Dictionary of American English. The last syllable is certainly neither a long _a_ nor does it complete the syllable. It ends with a _b_ in either version of English.
this tree has also inspired the trees you see in Central Thanalan in FFXIV.
I would love to see Y'all do either the Florida Cypress tree, the Jacaranda, or the Banyans. I truly love all these trees. I missed one, the Mangrove.
I second Jacaranda
She looks like she's made of CGI. WTF IS SO PRETTY?
One of the iconic tree species on the planet, Thanks for the video 🙌
Beautiful tribute to the mighty baobab, you've got a new subscriber. ☺
Take a shot everytime she says "I call that..." and think the trees can talk to you by the end of the video.
im 100% Convinced that australien baobabs are so geneticaly similiar to african ones is that early ariving people that we now know as aborigines broght baobab seeds with them and those are probably not the only seeds they brought with them ...
I had never even heard of these. Amazing plants. Like out of some fantasy book. I really hope we don't destroy them.
U should do Dragon blood Trees(Dracaena cinnabari), they're amazing
I really love the floralogic series, it made me appreciate plants more.
Just because they're succulents doesn't mean they're not trees. If we're going by the common definition of perennial + branching + woody. Love your videos btw!
Appreciation for teaching me
Africa has some of the coolest scenery in the world . Just the greet alone seem so ancient looking . It’s really cool
Weird Fruit Explorer, Jared, has a great video series on Madagascar. I'd recommend searching that out if you'd like to see more plants and fruits, including the Baobab.
I've been trying to grow one for years, damn thing always develops spider mites!
Another floralogic episode yayyyyyy
Humans really are an amazing species. Absolutely nothing is sacred. Nevermind the cultural significance of these plants, the predate first fish to put it's head above water for a breath of air. Huge groups of our population have no problem cutting and burning it all down in the name of "progress."
I'd love for you to talk about ferns and how crazy they are.
I love finding WILD and other worldy plants and animals that ACTUALLY exist on earth TODAY. It really makes earth that much more interesting.
It’s a succulent 🤯🤯🤯
I love these trees!
Why didn't your writer suggest Bao-bye 🤨???
These are legit so unique unlike any other. 👏 Though I like the Socotra dragon tree more, make a video on it, please! 🌳🇾🇪
I had no idea you make music, Tasha! Your style is 100% something I vibe with 🎶
Ah yes, the moose, my favorite unit of measurement.
That lilacish-blueish-pinkish hair color looks amazing on you Tasha 😍
Can we talk about algae, puffball mushrooms, moss, & kelp forests? Any of those 4 topics would groove me. Please & thanks!
I’m surprised you didn’t reference that they are also referred to as the upside down tree because their crown of branches resemble a root system.
The guy at the end "no~oooh" 😂
I love baobabs 🥰
I think I am more impressed by your unbelievably wonderful art ability!!! You rock the world of art & should be on the list of the better artists out there today! Thanks for the beauty, my friend!
This tree looks like out from a fantasy world. Hope it would be protected forever
Got a relative of this called marsh mallow that people used to make marsh mallows. Others relatives are cocoa, cotton, durian, money tree, kola nut which they used in Coca Cola and hibiscus and roselle.
Also okra
baobobs .. the first time i heard about them was in "The Little Prince"! i didnt know much about them though- thats neat!
Your hair is so beautiful! I love the color you look like a faerie! 💜
Reading all these beautiful comments warms my heart …. sending everyone love & sunshine 💓☀️
I love the end credit blooper 😂
I get why you folks wrote the script to say that they "aren't trees but succulents" because it has "punch" to it, but it can be both a tree and a succulent, considering "tree" isn't a scientific classification at all (and neither is "succulent"). Even having fibrous wood isn't enough to say they aren't trees considering Ochroma pyramidale, or the Balsa wood tree has wood so soft that it is spongy, able to be easily scratched away with a finger nail and is used to make break away props.
I love watching these mini docs that are clearly marketed towards kids. The only difference between docs on netflix, and the ones marketed towards kids is that the kids docs use random shit like "school bus" or "elephant" as a metric.
damn imagine being that one guy that included the phrase "hydro homies" in his comment and seeing that it's in the title of the video lol
Thank you as always for making me and many nature lovers aware of the unique species mother nature is proudly to have!!❤️🍀🌏
Fartin tragedy indeed! These things stuck around for THIS LONG, and us humans are going to be the things to end it. Sadly like so many things on this planet. Heres to hoping they resurge!
Can we talk about why hardware stores sell spray painted aloes and hot glue fake flowers onto cacti?
Ilove your shows, including this one. That being said I never thought I would be correcting you. Flowering plants date to 130 million y.a.. Perhaps you meant 20 mya? I would think it later than the Mesozoic based on its pollinators but suppose it could be Cretaceous?
This year I was able to grow three Baobab plants out of seeds which I brought 19 years ago from Senegal.
Amazing plant ☘️
I love them😄 it's one of my favourite fruits here in Angola.
It’s so sad to know everything is going extinct , how is 97% of its habitat gone already
i would love to see the Jaranda. When they are blooming it's one of the most beautiful sights in my city
Baobabs:- A.k.a giant succulents with huge water storing stems
I CALLED YOU - ANNOYING 😂🤣
I would love to one day see an episode on the Ceiba from Puerto Rico.
So, after verification Baobab are not succulents at all. That a huge mistake between a type of plants and one of the baobab caracterists, which is only an evolutionnary convergence.
Baobab are from the Malvacea family, like cacao tree, hibiscus and linden.
What is a “caracterist”?
@@fredericklmeade2947 it's a french attempt of writing "characteristics"
So they made the mystical wise tree in real life? That’s crazy
wouldn't this be an ideal plant for re greening efforts in areas affected by monsoon weather cycles? if it can provide sustainable wood, store water and produce fruit in the dry season then it's offering two major solutions to drought
Rafiki from the lion king: What up mtv cribs welcome to my house come on in
I've been obsessed (kinda) with the baobab trees since I discovered them in the book the "Little Prince". This only reinforced my will and wish to visit Africa before I die. I did that recently but only got as far as Morocco before the pandemia arrived and I got stuck in the wonderful Morocco. 🙁. And couldn't move south from there, as to Senegal, etc.
I still haven't seen in all its reality, and hugged, one of these marvelous and magnificent trees. ☹️. In the U.S. there are two baobab trees and I ve seen one, in the campus of the university of Arizona in Tucson though it was quite young and small. I still hope to return to Africa someday. Inshallah. Thank you for your videos!
PS. thanks for my long stay in Morocco, I found and visited a museum dedicated to Antoine de St Exupery in the city of Tarfaya where they allowed me to stay as a resident artist for two months while I did two paintings for the museum:. A portrait of St Exupery and one of the Little Prince. 😃😄❤️
they are also closely related to silk cotton trees too
How many of you got introduced to baobs by The Little Prince written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry?
That looks like a futuristic tree.
I love Tasha's choice of colours!
What! You're eighteen metres tall! Great Huge Amazon, Batman!
I'd like to see you cover Kudzu in the future. Love your show! :)
Dayum. Them trees DUMMY thicc.
You’re telling me that 97% of Madagascar Forrest is gone? Yea okay.
We call in Kuka, here in Northern Nigeria, The dried leaves are ground up into a powder and used to make a kind of stew
Baobabs are also in the US Virgin Island of St. Croix. They came in by the way of South Africa.
I wanna hug one weirdly enough
I still don't understand how human influence did not destroy the uniqueness of Madagascar. Its mind blowing.
Trees on Mars would look like this, I guess....
3:46 what about its roots? Does it grow horizontally, or vertically in general? And average span/depth of it? Question is related to spacing of baobab trees
So cool, pretty amazing that it's actually a succulent!
Nature Is Awesome…
i did the math, if she was referring to the african bush elephant she would be -6.1 meters tall, and if she was referring to the the african forest elephant, she would be -11.7 meters tall.
