African Baobab trees (Adansonia digitata), can become very old. Carbon dating estimates that some of these trees in Africa may be morethan 3000 years in existence, even before the birth of Christ. Trees bear flowers only after about 20 years, and when they flower, the flowers come out in the night. The interesting part is that pollenation takes place by bats and flowers wilt af ter only a day. Y ou are lucky if you see them intact! Photograph: Thelma Smit and Theresa Skosana recently at a Carols by Candlelight service in Burgersfort
