Sunland Baobab, also known as the Big Baobab, is a well-known enormous baobab (Adansonia digitata) in South Africa. The tree is located on Sunland Farm near Modjadjiskloof (previously known as Duiwelskloof), Limpopo Province. The Sunland Big Baobab is renowned because inside its (mostly, naturally) hollowed trunk there is an established bar and wine cellar. (see picture insert) The tree has been carbon dated and is estimated to be around 6000 years old which would make it one of the oldest trees in the world. The trunk of the tree consists of two connected parts. Each of these parts has own enormous hollows connected with a narrow passage. Diameter of the tree - 10.64 metres), height 19 metres and crown diameter - 30.2 metres. Circumference of the trunk - 33.4 metres Carbon investigations inside the hollows of the tree testify that there have been fires in the hollow in 1650 AD, 1750–1780, 1900, 1955 and 1990
