It doesn't necessarily mean that this succulent can survive the cold. However, it does not mean that this plant isn't dependent on adequate watering. Adansonia digitalata is the world's largest succulent. It is also commonly known as African Baobab. According to legend, the tree fell for four girls from the local area, but they chose human husbands rather than the tree. The bark on its lower half often has scarring from local people who harvest the tree and pound it to get the fibrous fiber.
