Some 20 - 25 more trees of this species grow in nearby rice paddies and meadows. Baobab trees, up to 800 years old, known locally as renala (Malagasy for mother of the forest), are a legacy of the dense tropical forests that once thrived on Madagascar.The trees did not originally tower in isolation over the sere landscape of scrub but stood in dense forest.he 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 in western Madagascar.
