Baobab tree (Adansonia grandidieri). Close-up of a baobab tree on the Avenue of the Baobabs, Madagascar. The Avenue, or Alley, of the Baobabs is a prominent group of baobab trees lining the dirt road between Morondava and Belon'i Tsiribihina in the Menabe region of western Madagascar. Along the Avenue are some 25 trees around 30 meters in height that are endemic to Madagascar. Originally a huge forest, only this small number remains owing to deforestation as agricultural land encroaches.
