This peculiar baobab tree is another attraction in the Dodowa Forest.
It served a very interesting purpose during the war.
The Shai warriors were said to have fired their last bullets into this tree to declare the Kantamanso War over on 26th August, 1826.
it was alleged that bullets used consisted of beads, beans, millet rice, salt, black potions and talismans on locally prepared gunpowder/ the big tree displays the “bumps” or “hunches” as “wounds” caused by the bullets till this day. i.e. 177 years ago.
This giant baobab is situated just north of the entrance to the great Dodowa Forest.
