    Hi!

    I'm growing some different Adansonia species (Baobabs).
    Some of my Adansonia Grandidieri are starting to show some weird knob/thorn like development on the stem of the plant.

    What is this called, and what purpose does it serve in nature?


    Pictures:
    The knobs start forming from white protrusions which after a week or two turns brown and hardens.
