Trees In The Savanna

The savanna is characterized by its variety of grasses, however the grasses are not at all lush. The grasses are often thick clumps with bare ground and shrubs in between. The types of grass in the savanna are: Rhodes grass, red oats grass, lemon grass, star grass, finger grass, love grass, Bermuda grass, and elephant grass. Trees are very difficult to grow in the savanna because there isn’t much rainfall. The few types of trees grown in the savanna are: the umbrella-shaped acacia tree, which grows flowers at the very top, and the baobab tree. During the dry seasons, most plants shrivel and die.
