 e trees have a total calculated volume of 286.5 liters and a total weight of 206.28 kilograms.
Conclusion
I would like to thank Lampie Schoeman for making the huge container, providing the fantastic trees as well as Rita Schoeman and her hospitality on the day. Without Lampie this project would not have been possible.
 anks to all the enthusiastic members of Kat Rivier Kai that helped to create this remarkable planting. I hope Mr. Thomas Baines is aware of this small happening!
I would also like to mention Dr. Sarah Venter who has done her PhD research on Baobabs. Our meeting at the Sagole baobab inspired me to learn about and appreciate this fantastic species more.
