Western Australia is sounding better to me every year. I'm in Sydney and honestly I don't know how anyone can enjoy this place without being a multi-millionaire since that's the only way you're gonna be living close enough to nature (beaches, national parks, etc) to really be able to enjoy them regularly. Plus the climate on the east coast has just been garbage for the last few years. Western Australia conjures up images of stunning nature, beautiful beaches, great weather and actually being able to afford to be near them without sitting on the train or in traffic for an hour. One of these trees on a property there would be a selling point for me if it wasn't too far away from civilization. I'd make it the centrepiece of a wonderland garden full of unique arid climate plants since boab and other "fat" trees are just so fascinating to me. Truly looking like they're from another world. Didn't even consider the night skies would be better there too.

Might be a different tree type. There's the "Queensland bottle tree" which has a similarly fat trunk, but is still a different species.

Yeah, emotionally invested. Like how you’re calling me names, because I said something you don’t like to a stranger. It’s weird. Let’s be done now.

They are both baobab trees. Why it's called boab, I have no idea.
They are all among the Adansonias.

Lye? You mean lie. Lye is a chemical that dissolves things like people.

It's really a baobab. No idea why they call them boab instead.
They are all from the Adansonia family and are baobabs.

I've grown 1400 of them. There was a time when you could almost walk over to Australia from Sri Lanka within the past 50,000 years. They could have floated over or been carried over.

They are in Africa, Madagascar and Australia.
The Madagascar ones are amazing.

That's a baobab, not a boab.

I genuinely didn't know they grew in Australia. Thank you for teaching me something. We have them here in South Africa aswell. They're amazing.
