A. digitata is the type species for the genus Adansonia and is the only species in the section Adansonia. [3] All species of Adansonia except A. digitata are diploid; A. digitata is tetraploid. [21] Some populations of African baobab have significant genetic differences and it has been suggested that the taxon contains more than one species.
Adansonia digitata fruit Adansonia rubrostipa, fruit pulp. The white pith in the fruit of the Australian baobab (A. gregorii) tastes like sherbet. [30] It has an acidic, tart, citrus flavor. [31] It is a good source of vitamin C, potassium, carbohydrates, and phosphorus.

The Big Tree is a large baobab [1] of the species Adansonia digitata situated close to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.It is unusually large for a baobab, [2] measuring 22.40 meters (~73 ft) in girth and 24 meters (~79 ft) tall.
Adansonia kilima, is the name given in 2012 to certain upland populations of baobab trees of southern and eastern Africa that are now considered to be synonymous with Adansonia digitata [1] It has overlapping geographic range with A. digitata, is tetraploid, and apparently the same species as the tetraploid A. digitata.
The seeds are brown, any white patches are residual undissolved fruit pulp. This one fruit had 155 seeds. Showing only one example to give a general idea as to the magnitude of baobab seed quantities per fruit, and their size as compared to the fruit they were in. Seeds from this fruit somewhat consistently measured 1.2 cm in length.
