Adansonia gregori
Named after the explorer A.C. Gregory. All leaves are shed in the dry season. The large white flowers occur in the wet season. They are said to open for one night only and are pollinated by insects such as the hawk-moth. The oval shaped fruits are up to 180mm in length and were used by aborigines for both food and medicine. The aboriginals also used the bark for string and the roots of young trees for food. The bark of young trees was chewed to freshen the mouth.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Nature's Marvel: The Enigmatic Baobab Twins and their Termite Mound Adventure!". Step into the extraordinary world of Australia's iconic Boab Tree, as captured by the talented photographer Don Hadden. This print showcases the magnificent DH-3363, featuring a pair of majestic Twin Baobab Trees standing tall amidst the vast Kimberleys landscape. With its unique characteristics, this remarkable species sheds all its leaves during the dry season, creating a striking silhouette against the clear blue sky. But fear not! When the wet season arrives, these giants burst into life with dazzling white flowers that bloom for just one enchanted night. It is during this time that they rely on diligent insects like hawk moths to pollinate them. But there's more to these baobabs than meets the eye! Aboriginal communities have long cherished these trees for their oval-shaped fruits, which measure up to an impressive 180mm in length. Not only were they used as a source of sustenance and medicine but also provided materials such as bark for string-making and young roots for nourishment. As you gaze upon this awe-inspiring photograph, let your imagination wander through ancient traditions and untamed landscapes where humans and nature intertwine harmoniously. Join us on an adventure filled with wonderment as we celebrate Mother Nature's incredible creations!
