Descriptors for Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.)

‘Descriptors for Baobab’ were developed as an output of the CGIAR-funded Agriculture for Nutrition and Health programme and the EC-funded Fruiting Africa project. It is the product of exhaustive collaboration amongst 15 core scientists, with consultations from baobab experts worldwide. “This descriptor list is the first, in the Descriptors Series, focusing on a neglected, undomesticated African food tree species with highly nutritious fruits and leaves”.
