Can the tree be that old? A really amazing thing to think. But in fact such a tree has been found in Africa. This is a 6,000-year-old tree!

Recently, scientists have discovered one of the oldest trees in the world. This ancient tree is called “Soonland baobab”, which grows in tropical Africa. It is known that this tree is more than 6000 years old! But the most interesting thing is that there is a bar in the hollow trunk of the tree!

The Sunland baobab tree is more commonly known as Adansonia. The Sunland baobab is the most famous and the oldest baobab tree among the large species native to central and neighboring Africa. This plant is found in Lippo Province, South Africa.

Inside the tree is a large log-like space (called a hole made by wood). Interestingly, it is not man-made. This wood is naturally formed. A bar was built inside the barn in 1993 and is owned by the Van Hardin family.

Only a group of 15 people can enter the tree at a time, with small entrances 13 feet high. According to media reports, the diameter of this tree is about 35 feet.
