Not as old as you're probably thinking. The trees store massive amounts of water in the trunk so you shouldn't compare it to something like an oak tree

Not as young as you're probably thinking. Baobabs can become over 1,000 years old. The ones I saw in a national park in Madagascar were 700 years old already
