Baobab trees can live for thousands of years and are considered the largest succulent plant in the world. As a deciduous tree, its leaves drop in winter and appear again in spring and summer. It is slow growing in hot dry woodland soils in frost free areas. The baobab was declared a protected tree under the Forest Act in South Africa in 1941.
