    Hello,

    Here is a tree seen in the Namib desert in Namibia.
    The trunk is quite wide and looks like a boab
    Does someone knows its name ?
    Thank you

    I was reading about Moringa on Wikipedia, thinking it sounded like a wonder tree based on its "easy growth and high nutrient content", and sure enough, the write-up mentions it as a "miracle tree".

    Thanks for posting that.
