Ecological adaptability: Baobab is a temperature-loving tropical tree species that can tolerate a maximum average temperature of 40°C and above, and an extreme minimum temperature of 0°C. Frost has a large impact on the tree, with an annual average temperature of 20-30°C in its natural distribution area. The tree is extremely drought tolerant, with annual precipitation of 300 to 800mm in the suitable area, and poor growth in hot and humid climates or with annual precipitation of 1000mm or more. It is commonly found at altitudes of 450-600m, but at altitudes of 1,000-1,500m in the distribution area of the Chemicalbookseobia and its margins. It is extremely resistant to drought and fire, reducing water consumption by defoliation in the dry season, for example, and the seemingly elephant-bark bark can regenerate after fire damage. Therefore, baobab is not suitable for growing in hot and humid areas with frost and tropical rainforest climate characteristics.
