Disgorge

Baobab Tree in the Serengeti Desert of Africa

The baobab tree stores an incredible amount of water, earning it the nickname, ” the bottle tree”. If it could be drained, it would disgorge up to 25,000 gallons of water. This would weigh 100 tons, and surpass the amount that most U.S. households use over an entire year.
