B 612 Baobab

The B 612 Baobabs are a species of baobab tree-like plants native to asteroid B 612, the abnormally tiny homeworld of an inquisitive young humanoid known as the little prince.

Biology
The B 612 Baobab trees are externally identical to the baobab trees of Earth. They grow very quickly in the soil of B 612, and can quickly uproot other plants around them, even threaten the stability of B 612 with their roots, as B 612 is only the size of a house, and too many baobabs could tear the asteroid apart.

History
The B 612 Baobabs constantly threatened to overrun the surface of B 612, with the little prince spending his days uprooting them the moment he recognized them, along with other unwanted plants. When the little prince decided to leave B 612 to explore the galaxy, he uprooted what was supposedly the last of the B 612 Baobab saplings. It is unknown if any others appeared after the prince left the asteroid.
