Description:
Two individuals using long poles to hook down fruits from a very large Adansonia digitata tree (known as tebeldi in arabic and baobab (from Arabic bu-hibab, manifold seeds)) elsewhere in Africa) which has been stripped of much of its bark around its base for fibre used in cord-making, shown in other images.
Baobab fruit is high in vitamin C as well as having anti-diarrhoeal and other properties.
