The Upside-Down Tree – Baobab
When planted by God, it kept walking, so God pulled it up and replanted it upside down to stop it from moving — so the legend goes.

Adansonia is a genus of deciduous trees known as baobabs. They are found in arid regions of Madagascar, mainland Africa, Arabia, and Australia.
