Boabab can survive for 5000 years and the biggest one is in South Africa, which has a Beer bar inside its trunk, worth seeing.
It stores all the water it needs in its fibrous trunk & can go without water for months. An ideal plant for indoor bonsai during winters when it shed all its leaves & becomes dormant. No need to water for months at a go.
