Le bois est tendre et léger.

Origine du mot «baobab». La première description [...] aurait été faite par le portugais Gomes Eanes de Zurara [...] vers 1450 : «... son fruit est comme une calebasse ...». À la suite de cette observation, il porta donc le nom de calebassier du XVème au XVIIIème siècle. 4, record 1, French, - baobab
