Lula plant baobá in dawn and says that tree is for future presidents to have judgment

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) published on social networks on Sunday (10) the moment of planting a seedling of baobá on the ground of the palace of Alvorada, official residence of the presidency, in Brasilia. According to Lula, the idea is for the plant to make future occupants of his position have “judgment.”

“We give Mother Nature a new plant for our address, which is called Baobá, which has a lot of history and much of the ancestry of our African people. This is a symbol of life, resistance, a lot of strength, health and joy,” said the president.

“I hope this baobab flourishes here in the palace of Alvorada, grow up to make people living here have judgment, commitment and willingness to help Brazil grow to be the same size as this plant will be,” he said. The baobabs can reach up to 30 meters high and have trunks up to seven meters in diameter.
