Monkey bread tree (6)
I believe the answer is:
baobab
'monkey bread tree' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for baobab that I've seen before include "Exotic tree" , "Tree indigenous to Africa and Australia" , "Gigantic tropical tree with very thick trunk" , "African fruit tree" , "The monkey bread tree" .)
