As I am writing this after a long time. I feel that there are many other tree lovers like me who will appreciate this blog. This is about my favorite tree Baobab (Scientific name : Adansonia digitata). This tree can live upto 2000 years. Initially, I thought that these trees are exists only in Madagascar but later I came to know that these are in India Too. And maximum in Gujarat.
I am in search of these trees since 10 years. I located some of the bigger trees and still I am on it. Even I had put locations in google maps too.
There are almost seven types of species of baobab tree and in India there are different than Madagascar. As it can grow up in dried areas so we can see them in India too. The fruit of this tree is used to cure for skin dieses in Gujarat.
In Gujarati language it is called Rukhdo Tree. I might be missed out some Information so Pardon me.
This one is close to the beach of Saurastra region of Gujarat. As it is knows as mini Serengeti of Gujarat.
This area is very famous of Asiatic Lions but as of now I will mention about the tree only which I had visited. This tree is situated in Ajak village of Saurastra. It is almost 4 far from the beach area. Now this tree is a bit differen than the other trees as par my information it is almost 500 to 800 years only.
In gujarat they worship this tree. As in africa it is known as tree of life. This tree can keep water in its trunk which is really unique. Also People have traditionally valued the trees as sources of food, water, health remedies or places of shelter. As per Wikipedia
Now what I feel when I visit these trees. I feel Hope, positivity and Really amazing vibe. This is the reason I really Like this tree.
If you are a tree lover then you must visit this place whenever you are going through this place. This is between Somnath Dwarka Route at the coastal Highway.
I hope my Blog has given you some good information. I personally give thanks to the person who put the location of this tree otherwise It cannot be easily found. I am still in search of these trees in Gujarat and rest of india.
