With the increasing development of transportation in our country, many people choose to travel abroad, speaking of traveling abroad, the most popular countries should be some countries in Southeast Asia, such as Thailand, Myanmar, and these places have more people. But some people also like to go to some magical places, such as Africa, which is not only hot and poor, but it is the primitive tribes of Africa that attract people, as well as the plant resources of wild animals. Today, we will talk about one of the most ruthless trees in Africa, cutting off its arms for survival, let's take a look!
The name of the tree is aloe vera tree, located in the Namibian desert of Africa, and he also has a name called the quiver tree, which makes me think it is very unusual. Aloe vera also has a bit of a plant-like meaning, and the word quiver is a bit difficult to understand. However, this tree grows in the desert, which is indeed amazing, as we all know that the desert is dry and lacks water, and the trees are fed by water, so it is really a miracle that this tree has survived to this day.
Trees that grow in the desert can absorb enough photosynthesis in addition to being exposed to the sun every day, but they are also too dry. If they want to survive, they must compete for water on their own. Water in the desert is really more precious than gold.
The quiver trees that grow here keep a certain distance between each and then coat the trunk with a layer of white powder. It's the same as wearing sunscreen for girls in the summer.
The difference is that girls wear sunscreen to prevent darkening, while trees apply white powder to preserve moisture and prevent it from evaporating quickly. But after all, it's a drop in the bucket. So sometimes they will give their own arthropods, because too much water loss, the whole trunk will wither, and the withering of the trunk will affect the whole tree, so they can only take care of the overall situation and give up their small family to protect everyone.
That's why the tree cut off its arm in order to survive.
Some people say that sooner or later the branch will be broken, and the tree will wither sooner or later, but in fact, in the process of breaking the branch again, a substance will be secreted, which will remain at the fracture and prevent water loss, until it encounters a new water source, and the branch will grow back, which is why the quiver tree has survived to this day. Nowadays, these strangely shaped trees have attracted the attention of many people, and many people come to see them.
I didn't expect that in a backward place like Africa, there are still so many strange things hidden, which also makes Africa seem more mysterious, and people's impression of Africa is no longer poor and backward, and there are blacks, but there are many wonders worth seeing. Have you ever heard of such a tree?

Characteristics of the baobab tree.
The strangest tree in the world is the baobab tree, which is basically not too different in height from other trees, and can grow up to 20 meters tall. However, the reason why this tree is called a particularly peculiar tree is, of course, there are also peculiar things, for example, it will become thinner and thicker with the amount of water in the tree, that is, when the water content is high, the tree will become thicker, and when the water content is low, the tree will become thinner. However, the leaves generally grow at the top of the tree, and there are few leaves in other parts, and the small leaves are only about 5 cm long, although the leaves are very small, but the leaf branches are very large, and can grow to more than two meters.
Baobab trees will bloom without grinding.
When it comes to big trees, it gives the impression that they are towering trees, pure green, and do not bloom.
