- Of the more than 73 thousand known species of tree around the world, the vast majority are completely safe… dedicating their lives to producing oxygen, providing a home to countless animals, and developing fruit and foliage that supports ecosystems. There are a small number, though, that can be fatal… and if you ever see one you’d be best advised to keep your distance. From exploding seeds, to stinging branches and potent toxins… it’s time to investigate the 15 most dangerous trees you shouldn’t touch.

The dragon’s blood tree you CAN touch, just stay away from its very watery resin/sap (a bit in between those 2 things considered to be a tree’s healing and draining blood) if you have no use for it. But it can be used as an antiseptic and as a coagulant when used on a small wound that could get infected. Rub it on that wound enough and the sap will turn white. That’s why he mentioned medical research, likely.
I thought they must be exaggerating with that "blood" flow from the tree. I started to look up other videos of it and saw that it wasn't faked. That's so weird looking, both that it's red and that it pours out like that.
@@PurringWonderland Yup! If you were to like, make a 2 inch deep cut from the tree, the sap would gush as much or maybe even more than an artery pulverized by a bayonet to the brain or heart or whatever-you get the picture.
Another tree to avoid is the Honey Locust, a variant of the Black Locust. This tree, which is native to North America, is classified as a "very aggressive" invasive species elsewhere. The tree is dangerous not because of toxic chemicals, but because it's covered in sharp thorns, some of which can reach 7 inches (about 17 cm) in length. These thorns are very durable and can easily pierce the skin and tires. They were used by early pioneers to North America as a substitute for nails.
Hello Chris, neat picture, would you happen to be a lady with very long hair? I find that quite attractive, please describe it?
@@danielobrien1571 Not quite. I'm pretty much the opposite of what you described.
I was thinking the same thing. I was helping build a pumphouse for a friend next to one and it scared me to death just thinking about just brushing into it. The thorns were around 3 inches long and a hypo is not nearly as sharp as they are. Would make a great hedge I guess because nothing but an a-bomb could go through it.
No I don't agree
.....
For the gympie gympie i think it was cayote peterson or whatever his name is, he took on this plant and tested out waxxing to take out the nettles, worked reasonably well, meaning they dont really need to stay in for weeks like you said
I just watched that video today.
You are half right. It helped but not fully.
The end of the video claims he still gets shocks of pain when cold or hot things such as water hit the affected area.
I think he said that was a month or two after the sting.
It is so sad to see those dragon trees being felled down. They are very rare and to reach that height they take hundreds of years.
yeah those savages are killing those trees and for what😭😭😭
Wut
@@raven4k998do you know why they cutting the trees? Probably not for a bad reason.
@@limemaster6952 yeah I do I was joking god get a sense of humor the trees look like they are bleeding it was hilarious
@@limemaster6952There is never a good reason for deforestation.
The wild cherry tree is known as choke cherry trees up here. Mostly harmless, the fruit has a subdued sweet taste that really is kinda bland. Still, every now and then someone does have severe issues from eating the fruit.
Did those people swallow the pit or have an allergy?
Imagine cutting a tree down and it begins bleeding.
What's the blood type ?
....
Locust trees are actually useful. Honey made out of their flowers is very good, people chew the flowers as well because they are sweet and their wood is used in construction and in making fences.
I knew Australia had the most dangerous spiders, sharks, crocs and insects (9 out the top 10).... but I didn't realise we had dangerous plants???? DOH!!!!!
Hey come down
Imagine accidentally wiping your ass in the bush with gympy gympy
@@30cal23
😨😬🤣
Nasty be venomous snakes.
I used to trim black locust. Spiney as hell, not fun getting hit in the face by a branch. Never had any signs of poisoning though
Fun fact: The Bunya Pine's cones contain edible nuts that are very nutritious. So their cones aren't actually that bad.
They're also kinda beautiful. Would make for a cool garden decoration for a while if it didn't germinate
Go eat some.
I was disappointed that #1 wasn't even dangerous. I'd happily touch that one. The rest were interesting and belong on this list in my eyes.
You have a warm and loving voice...thank you sweetheart LOVE from the Netherlands
Got to love Australia even our plants are deadly. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@Bill Kikstra 😂🤣😂 Yeah definitely even our cutest animals can be deadly like our world famous Drop Bears or our Platypus.
@Bill Kikstra would love to go to Canada and wrestle a grizzly bear. 😂🤣😂 I’ve lived nearly all my life in the country and outback so I like my chances. All jokes aside yeah ok we have more than our fair share of bitey and stingy things but don’t sell yourself short I think you fellas in Canada live in a pretty hardcore country as well.
@Bill Kikstra I was joking about the grizzly bears but yeah with the temperatures you fellas get yeah you lot would be pretty tough.
I'm addicted to pigger nussy 🤠
When God made Australia he used His sense of humor , the funniest animals on earth .
Title: “15 of the most dangerous trees you should never touch”
Video: shows people touching said trees! 😆
Not touching means you won't ruin your day, or year, or the rest of your life. But some of these you could touch I think; but lightly; others, DON'T EVEN TOUCH--and have a good vacation.
That part was the click bait for the most part btw
Very fascinating 👏 👌 👍 😊
Taking notes on what to serve to my enemies....
Nitpick: if it's "extinct" but still around, it's "extirpated", not extinct (some jurisdictions use "extinct in the wild") but definitely not "regular" extinct.
Wow, those trees don’t be playing. They are trying to take us out. Even the baby.
Here in Southwest Virginia, we had all kinds of black locust trees. Not fun to try and climb with those thorns.
Some addition to the Common Yew Tree:
This tree is extremly present where i live, and the wood is known to be extremly durable. Howerver it is not recomendet to craft things out of it without a special coating since even the sawdust or longer contact with your barehands causes headaches or vometing. inside these red fruits are the acutual seeds which are dark green and around 3 of these should be enough to take your personal trip to the shadowrealm. So even if the red parts are theoretical save to eat, i would not do it.
I ate a lot of the berries and i am still healthy. (Tasty Stuff) You could eaven swallow the seeds as log as you don't bite them. They go through your stomek unharmed/ing, just like nature intendet... Seriously, spit them out and don't chew!! 😅
19:30
It's just funny cause he implies that we go around eating trees. I used to climb them when I was a kid but never had the urge to eat them.
I had a rose bush one time and a strange thing happened when I cut it out it bled like I never seen from a plant. Never thought I’d see that.
I had a cherry tree in my backyard as a kid. I climbed it all the time, and we always ate tons of cherries from it, so I guess it was cool with me lol. Also made my pet squirrel its home in it...
We had a cherries tree my sister used to climb up there a eat them they were called choke cherries
@@caragare3214 Ours made dark cherries with a hint of bitterness. Not sure what kind it would've been, I was too young to care at the time.
I'm not sure why Gympie-gympie isn't ranked WORST!!
Because there is a worse plant than that that grows in Europe. Giant hogweed. it is gympie-gympie x10!
I may have use for this information in some books I'm working on; part zoo-and-botanical-garden development, part globetrotting adventure series.
4:14 this is the flower of the “borrachero” shrub native to the South American country of Columbia, their common name is Devil's Breath, and their seeds is used to make “burandanga”!
Yeah, when you come across a particular tree species with the name of Gympie Gympie... the name alone is enough reason to exercise caution and stay your distance.
Thank you 🎉
The Ent you mistook for a tree, that’s one of the most dangerous things.
I have Oleander in my yard in Charleston, SC
I’m the mountain’s of Greece they have some nettles that can cause an instant rash and burn sensation that feels almost like poison oak and Ivy but 1000x worse
2:42 .. Is depression one of the symptoms in horses? Seriously? Did you figure it out in an hour? They asked the horse how your life was, and he cried and said that everything is terrible?
Allegedly, Ponce De Leon met his end from a Native's arrow that was covered in sap from the Manchineel tree.
We call the first one Stinging nettles...
That is not stinging nettles.I have been eating them for 61 yrs.Stinging nettle is God's gift to mankind.You can survive on them without any other food product for years!!!!.That was our food growing up because we had nothing else to eat!!!!.JFYI.He must be talking about a plant similar to stinging nettle.
@@faithnaidoo7647 They...mentioned that it's in the same *family* as the stinging nettle.
I would advise against making a Gympie salad though, from what I understand you will regret it for a very, very long time. It's also called the 'suicide plant' and I've heard stories of horses just tossing themselves off a cliff due to the pain. Scary stuff if you ask me.
Thank you, now my minecraft journey will be slightly safer
Your top pick is there because of *legends*? Really?? If you had stopped at your #2 pick it would have been a great, factual video. The entry of The Devil's Tree, especially at the top of the list, ruined it.
The devils tree isn't a legend. It could be any old tree from any old neighbor who doesn't like people on their property.
It's almost a literature device/allegory for "tread lightly" or "beware of dogs".
Or another more common one "trespassers will be shot".
i'm surprised that the Euphorbia didnt make it to this list ,literally one of the most dangerous trees known to this day ,everything about him is toxic
It’s interesting how the Bunya Pine can grow from such a Huge Cone, while the Tallest Trees in the world, Coast Redwoods, can grow from very Small Cones, ones that can fit in the palm of your hand.
Also, whatever this Devil’s Tree is, I think it’s best to bring Priests to help remove the evil spirits.
A lot of these have "used for poison arrows" in them...
I live in New Jersey and I have heard about the devils tree. I want to go there to see it.
You seem to be confused. If we cut down all the dangerous trees, we won't have to worry about dangerous trees anymore. 🤯
There is a case with the "angles" trumpet tree where someone drank a tea with it and then cut off his tongue and his... Cucumber...
Chris Kane introduced the facehuggers to the tree huggers.
No
Brugmansia I use to have 2 in my yard but the trunks are hard to get it uprooted
the name means drunken madness in English, and given the chemical content that name should make sense lol Atropine type alkaloids.
I used to have to work with brugmansia in a nursery and I hated it. I always left with a red rash all over my forearms where they brushed the brugmansia leaves while watering and a wicked headache.
wowwwwww that looks so cool and I want one too I can’t wait for the new one I think it’s 😮😮😮😮
Wow that’s cool
5:54 wow 😮
Stinging trees or trees that has toxic sap is rarely seen around the world 🌳🌳🌳
The evolution was like, let's take every mildly dangerous plant and animal, make them a million times worse and put them all in one place - Australia.
the last tree more of a myth to leave the tree alone
Yes the Gimpie bush is bad as you say I grabbed on once when trekking through the rain forest in north Queensland and wow the pain and irritation continued for months that is the truth
Can you imagine going for a piss and tripping Iver while your Wang is out? And the one thing to catch this fall.....I think I would end up lopping my knob off :s
That's awful I tripped over the plant before and for a few hours or less I experienced pain in my knee that touched the plant
You are the guy who does simple history
So 14 dangerous trees and an urban legend.
Yew trees bleed a red sap too, only it seems much thicker than the gushing Dragon blood tree. I live by a park that is full of Yew Trees and have spent a significant time around them... Perhaps one day if I happened to develope a degenerative condition; I may find out what Yew Tree pine tea tastes like, it better taste good, because it's the last cup of tea you will ever drink.
Nah the pine tree is in nsw too in Australia, we actually get em off a mate , it's made up of 100s of nuts that you can roast or straight up eat ..there a awesome tree
I have seriously come to the conclusion that EVERYTHING in Australia is dangerous lol and BIG. like when the Pangaea continent broke apart, everything big and dangerous must have been on the part that broke off to become Australia!! Because I swear Australia is mentioned so many times when I see videos about anything being "the most deadly" or "the most creepy" things, and Australia usually always has several entries on those lists... it does seem like everything growing and from Australia is always BIG and DANGEROUS.
Ive eaten yew tree berries many times. They are delicious, sorta sweet and jelly like. Just dont crunch on the core nor ingest that.
For the first one. You're telling me a skin graft wouldn't help? No pain if the needle is gone
Wow 😮😊
2:04 I'd take the nice safe harmless trees in Japan and Italy any day.
I like your video.
These Gympie Gympie plants is available in my place and it's has 4 types like this plant and it's grow 10 to 12 feet in my place ( Northeast India Nagaland )
19:09 give me 30 bucks and a snickers bar and ill do it
Let me get this straight There’s a tree that oozes blood that is creepy as hell
What the hell is this video? I mean...
Narrator : just touching it is deadly
Video of someone touching the deadly part
Narrator : just being near it is deadly
Video of someone being near it bare skin
Narrator : its seeds explode if they fall
Video of someone under the tree
If they are so dangerious why we dont get rip of them all out?
number 14, horses grazing on the tree were diagnosed with depression ?
Buyna pines are found in brisbane Queensland Australia especially in the botanical gardens and their nuts can fatality injure you if one hits you in the head
It’s called dragon blood tree because it looks like blood from a dragon.
By the way I like to study stuff.
Gympie gympie is a NETTLE. Not a tree
Each plant is being touched in this video
Except for the first one, saw a video where somebody touched the gympie gympie tree and started vomiting due to the intense pain
Angels trumpets are being grown in the streets of Marbella Spain. I have a few pictures of myself under them
Seriously Australia! WHAT THE HELL!?
You could use these plants as home defense, have a sign saying warning, some these plants may and will kill you if you try trespass on this property haha
Forget guard dogs.. guard trees
11:01 GRENADE!!!
Ever heard of the Donkey Tree in Springfield Kentucky of Washington County? It’s an old legend that goes back over 100 years ago. If you touch it you will be cursed along with your family and friends. Horrible luck will be bestowed upon you and your loved ones! If you respect it and place an apple in its “mouth” you will be blessed.
Four years ago my nephew Freddie (my older sister’s second child) cursed at the tree and not only did he touch it but he climbed it! He poured gasoline on it and set it afire! The tree recovered and it’s growing fine to this day.
In August 2020, his mother, my dear sister died. A year later her husband died (his father) In August 2023 my nephew dies of a heart attack at age 37 😢
I don’t believe in superstition but seriously I won’t go testing it either!!!
I’ve lost three people I love tremendously in just three years! My heart aches for my 74 year old Mother who lost her first born child along with her second grandchild!
I never thought I was superstitious but seriously don’t wanna ever test this again! 😢😢😢
U forget about the shipworm tree
Why does life have shit like this is the real question... Plus i heard about these "exploding trees" or something... "The dynamite tree"

Australia has so much danger in their country
in my country we make donuts out of black locust tree flowers or even eat them raw.
0:01 is that the Iifa tree from final fantasy ix? Looks just like it. 🤔
I have 5 beautiful brugmansia trees. I have them in a fenced area and have never had an issue with them. Bleach is dangerous if you misuse it. I don't eat them I just admire their beauty.
Hah secund one...i grow up on juice from flowers of that tree..and still drinking it xD
They say even the very ground you stand on in that place will try to kill you
Why he sounds like Solid Snake
“This plant is deadly”
Films ppl with hands all over it
Why aren't there more videos of exploding sandbox tree fruit on RUclips?
Yew wood also good for bows.
Is it a coincidence that bunya pine cones look like pineapples
I guess this is mother nature's way of telling tree huggers to back the hell up.
Hey, its the Simple History guy!
Why ?
Not boonya, it's bunya, the way it looks!
First shot of trees, DON'T TOUCH! Guy touches tree!
سبحان الله العظيم 🌺
really, number one comes from superstition? what a let down
5:35 Does anyone know that's the same species that grows on the Canary Isles?
The dragon blood tree nuts be similar to a tree in a game I play
