"Avenue of the Baobabs" Adansonia grandidieri, is truly the strangest and most magnificent of the baobab species, otherwise known as the upside-down trees, only found on the island of Madagascar. These trees are the remains of what used to be a very large forest. This species is rare and endangered, threatened by slash-and-burn farming, over grazing and damage from bark removal by local communities.
