my mom would feel you so much and my aunt dosent like loose hair so my mom says "you handle the sponges and I'll handle the hair" and sometimes they highfive after😑😑
The bird killing tree DOES enjoy an evolutionary advantage by it's seeds sticking to birds. I don't know how scientists can't see that the seeds being stuck to the birds causes the birds to perish due to the seeds weighing them down. Then the seeds are spread as far as that bird can get and if the bird dies the seeds have a source of nutrients needed for seeding. If the bird is eaten and the seeds survive the gastric tract of the predator then they also get nutrients for seeding when passed.
Yeah, I would imagine its victims trying to escape and run from it and similar trees (if they get a chance to) during their ordeal, ensuring a new patch of land to grow on with feathery fertilizer.
I'm sure the scientists have thought of this and that's why they looked into it. They probably found that it didn't help the seeds to spread and germinate after all. Have to take a look at their study.
I believe they were talking about the overkill of the stickiness. If the bird is so weighed down it can't fly and dies then it never made it very far from the source of the seeds - the parent tree. The usual 'goal' of seeds that are sticky or stick via burrs is to allow the carrier to take the seed(s) a good distance. Same for seeds that are eaten and pooped out later.
Thanks for the info! We have a Black Locust sapling growing in our back yard. I did not know what it was till I saw your video. I transplanted it before knowing about tour video. As I picked it up to put it in the hole I dug, I got stuck lightly and briefly by one of it's thorns. I immediately put some disinfectant on my little finger and cotinued working. I had a small red / numbish / red spot for 3 days. Thankfully the thorn did not go deep at all. After researching the poison effects from this tree It could have been much worse. Another person who's report I red was stuck much deeper with a Black Locust thorn and their entire index finger swole up so they could'nt bend the finger. Thankfully an MD told them it's not fatal and can be treated with Antihistamine and pain killers. The SEEDS, in particular, Bark, twigs and leaves are fatal however if ingested in the right quantity. I would recommend in the case of getting stung by these thorns to immediately take Antihistamine and wrap the stung area with a slightly moist Activated Charcoal compress which will draw out the toxins.
I have a Bunya Pine in my back yard. My Dad found it as a seedling in a pot in a garbage fill. He brought it home to my Mom who loved plants. She had never seen a plant like that before nor did she know its name. What she did know is that she didn't like the spiky leaves. She threw the pot with seedling out the back door and there it took root. That was about 50 years ago and the tree is still growing, or so I was told a few years ago by a Horticulturalist. He said that you know when the tree is fully mature when the top flattens out. If that's true, my tree isn't fully mature, yet. The largest pine cone I've seen from this tree was about 6 inches in diameter and weighed about 1 to 1-1/2 pounds. It's rare to see a large one survive the fall. Smaller ones stay intact. When they hit the ground you can hear a very audible THUD. The leaves grow on small branches. When the leaves are green they are sharp but pliable. When the turn brown, they are stiff and deadly to walk on without proper shoes. The main thing people dislike about the tree is the mess they make with the leafy branches year 'round, but worse during the fall and winter. Because the brown leaves are so sharp, clean up requires heavy leather gloves. I had a crew come to take down some dying trees. The Foreman said that they had to take down a Bunya Pine and will never take on that task again for any amount of money. I never knew the proper name for the tree until I saw this video. I've always known it as a Monkey Puzzle Tree, named so because it is said that it's the only tree a monkey can't climb.
I live on the coast in Mississippi. Angel Trumpets thrive here. I never grew them,but my neighbor did for a short time. She eventually had them removed because the flowers kept getting stolen. We both eventually learned the theives were stealing them due to the hallucinating effects. Some people still do this knowing of the potential danger
I have seen several of these trees in my work, and living in several African and Carribean countries. There is another tree not mentioned in this video that is also found in the Carribean. It goes by the name Christmas Bush, because the leaves look similar to Holly leaves. It causes painful burns and blisters on your skin several hours after touching the leaves or the sap. I found out the hard way when clearing some ground to build a zipline in St. Martin, I had some of the sap on my hands when I had to go pee, lets just say I had burns where it is the most sensitive, as well as my hands, arms, and face.
12:20 wouldn't you think the seeds are extra sticky to prevent birds from pecking them off themselves and eating them? Also, how is it not beneficial to the progenity of the tree for a bird covered in seeds to be eaten by a predator? Wouldn't that predator then go forward and excrete the seeds elsewhere?
@@EricLightning1 not pointless. An apex predator that ate a bird would get father to excrete the seeds than the small bird which was lower down on the food chain and the excretions of the predator which ate the bird would have fertiliser to start the process of making a new tree. It would actually greatly benefit the tree immensely.
@@gailasprey7787 Unless they found that these seeds don't germinate after passing through a predator. Maybe that's why the concluded that it doesn't benefit the tree after all. I wonder if their study has been published.
@@RatKindler Hmm. That would be a problem. Soss all I know about biology comes from the internet and from school so I basically have little knowledge over the full situation.
Living in Southern California you see many Brugmansia or Angel Trumpets. I discussed the poisonous nature of their Angel Trumpet with a neighbor that has one in her front yard, but she didn't care because it is so beautiful. She just keeps pruning it without gloves or protection anyway. Every time I see her doing yard work around her Angel Trumpet, I cringe.
Yes I remember seeing the angel trumpets in Southern California myself! I remember my friend telling me that they were poisonous so I didn't go near them. They are so pretty but because they are sooo poisonous I wouldn't have one in my yard.
We had the honey stabby tree in our back yard in Detroit. I used to harvest the thorns to inscribe candles instead of using porcupine quills.... They are seriously sharp
What isn't deadly or trying to kill people in Australia? Lol! Honestly love this video. People used to think Botany was boring... wait till I show them this video.
As an Aussie, I can honestly say I have never so much as seen one of the trees mentioned here. These are the kinds of things you need to go waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere to find, or the restricted area of botanical gardens.
20:40 mostly false. In most states you can legally carry knives in general. The maximum length only comes into play in certain states and in certain locations like schools. There are some states that outright ban carrying knives
so the best things to wear if you go to australia are a gas mask(for all the gasses) a knight armor(for all the thorns,and also the poisonus plants) and a jet pack(because running away from an animal is already difficult and the armor makes it even harder).
That Angel's Trumpet is one I went near on a tour in Hawaii. The tour guide said they are extremely poisonous and not to get too close. And they are related to the Nightshade plant. I never really looked into the poisonous effects, but I see from this vid, it can really warp your mind as well as kill you.
There is a datura (close family) that is now growing all over SE Washington, Idaho, Oregon, they're not even sure yet which one it is, but some kids heard you can smoke the leaves and get high. It killed them.
I actually almost ate a beach apple once! When on a family holiday to the Caribbean (I was about 6) we went on a beach and there were some apples there. Being a child that LOVED to eat and put things in my mouth, I instantly went to pick it up and take a bite but thankfully my mum screamed at me to stop. She didn't even know what a beach apple was, she told me that "she just had a feeling I shouldn't be eating that" which even if it wasn't toxic, I shouldn't be eating a weird apple on the beach anyway lol
When I was in Diego Garcia the crews were bunked in beach huts. Kinda cool until the coconuts fell on the tin roofs in the middle of the night. That will wake up the dead. The coconut crabs were another interesting animal to meet going to the head at night. What a place.
I was stationed there also and I never saw one single person ever forced to bunk in a hut. There were barracks and even the Philippinos who ran the services had proper housing. I mean unless you were there long before barracks were built and that had to be more than 25 years ago.
Oh yes. ANimal venoms have nothing on what plants can produce. So many modern drugs/medecines/poisons/analgesics/hallucinagens/narcotics are derived from plant based chemicals. PLants are frickin evil.
I remember seeing a dangerous tree and l saw a fruit l was about to eat but my friend saved me he telled me that it's poison and l believed him and went away that was close
We have Honey Locust trees all over the US Midwest, including my yard. Our son stepped on a thorn when he was 3 and it took several weeks to get it all out. Very painful!
We had these as decorative trees all up and down my street in suburban Chicago. We learned to be careful of the thorns and had lots of fun throwing the seed pods at each other after they fell. Definitely couldn't climb them like we could the other trees ;-)
Coconut trees are almost a staple plant & food in South East Asia, including my country Malaysia. We make foods & beauty products out of it. The more dangerous plant to touch than coconut you didn't mentioned in this video is the "King of Fruits" Durian tree. A tree that gives off spikes all round it. Farmers wear helmets to avoid the falling durians on their heads. The fruit inside is pungent like jackfruit but generally more sticky, bittersweet & heaty. Usually eaten during cooler season like monsoon. Some species - e.g.: the premium Musang King - can fetch up to USD15 per pound, depending on its grade.
@@dinosaurpro6592 so true! Its smell is quite pungent that even most airlines forbid it to be carried onboard - the smell will linger a few days, even after you take it out of the car or plane in this case, despite many air-freshener sprays 🤣😬 But like you said, the taste of its flesh is worth the trouble despite its spiky & smelly appearance.👏👌👍💯🌟💕
Hi Rebecca. I was a Firefigher and was called to a wreck on the freeway. Getting out of the engine, I smelled what seemed to be insecticide. It turned out to be a truck carrying Durian fruit, preserved and entire raw fruits as well! Many years later I was invited to a Malaysian wedding and sampled a pudding made from this fruit. It tasted a lot better than it smelled. Most Americans have never heard of it, but occasionally you will find it offered in Malay based restaurants.
@@markseibert6369 haha, durians smelled like insecticide 🤭🤣 undoubtedly pungent initially, but glad you like it. Usually, when it is mixed ito the final food processing (e.g. ice cream, cakes, puddings, etc.) the "insecticide" pungent smell will be reduced/balanced out by other food ingredients. But oh dear, a (overturned or combusted) truck full of spiky durians...that was one hell of a smelly, thorny clean-up! 🤢💥
I had a bunya pine in my front yard in Portugal for 23 years, it grew to about 20m tall and started giving pines (the size of melons) in the last 4-5 years. Had to have it cut down because it bent so much due to its fibrous trunk and the strong winds in my region, given that it was just about 5 meters from the house...
I know where a couple of honey locust trees are, and they look absolutely deadly! Huge thorns growing in clusters everywhere! Not the tree to find walking through the forest at night.
When walking in forests and bushlands, the gympie-gympie is very common sight… I have never had the feeling to touch one though but thanks for letting me know why
I brushed against some Gympie Gympie with my legs many years ago. First instinct is to rub the sting, thus breaking the needles of in your skin. Was in pain for 6 weeks and still hurt to touch months later. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I'm so thankful for the total honesty and factual explanation of each of these demonic trees because if I had to watch one more lying photo shopped human hand with crater like holes and filled with eggs of beetles being represented as a skin disease I'll go crazy.
The Angel Trumpet tree has been a major problem in my hometown in Puerto Rico, where young people make tea out of the flowers to get the "hallucinogenic" effect. The DEA and the Police developed a task force to eradicate the ornamental plant from houses and farms to control the situation. I have seen the Angel Trumpet in many yards in the South area of Georgia and Florida. I know about a dozen cases where one ended up like Zombie. Others died of the overdose. This guy walked day and night nonstop. He lost the skill to talk, and gesture, and never interacted with anybody. His family had to take care of him until he got lost and died of possible starvation. Another case was this coworker who got a strange condition where he was talking day and night non-stop. Sometimes aggressive if you tried to interact with him. He demolished his mom's concrete house with a sledgehammer and several chisels working it day and night.
Because people are stupid has nothing to do with a beautiful awesome smelling tree. So how is the poppy plant and coco leave eradication programs going there? They kill 100's of millions...never hardly hear of angel trumpet anything. Drama?
Fun fact: Pokeweed is fairly common in the country and unkept backyards of Kansas. I've seen a total of 7 separate plants. And 4 for one area and generation. 2 for the next gen in the same area, and the last one on someone's backyard.
You see them in unkempt yards in Illinois too. I don't recommend removing them yourself. The berries are extremely poisonous and you can get sick. You shouldn't even harvest the leaves after the berries appear. You pick the leaves when the plant is young and the leaves are just shoots. They're very bitter tasting. As far as removing the plants from your yard, maybe a professional landscaper could do it with herbicides. I don't know. Where I live, folks just wait for winter. The first frost kills them.
The black locust tree is a neophyte all over central Europe. We have seen sheer explosions of its population over the last two decades and in many cities it has become a dominant sight, especially with cities adjacent to large rivers, railways or highways. Presumably the tree seeds are spread via transport routes. The tree is incredibly resilient with regard to ground conditions acceptable for successful growth which enables large populations of the plant where other plants are unable to survive. Unfortunately the general public has not recognized the tree as a major problem, with regard to local flora. Most people are unaware of its toxicity and turn a blind eye to the tree displacing native tree populations. One upside to mention though - the thorns of the black locust tree are to my knowledge only toxic at the young age of the tree. These thorns are also underdeveloped or gone in adult trees, so once the tree becomes sizable and no longer something resembling a bush, it becomes less dangerous to humans.
I have many of the honey locust trees around my house on the property. They are very nasty to handle and yes they do cause a lot of trouble with tires! Makes mowing the grass frustrating sometimes.
You should have included Giant Hogweed. The sap causes skin to react with light and bruise for months on end. Pretty serious plant, invasive to NA, was once considered ornamental due to its impressive size and appearance.
What is NA, North America? I’ve never seen it abbreviated like that before? Worse thing about the Hogweed is that it blocks people’s ability to resist the sun’s radiation , so they get these terrible radiation burns if they’re in the sun afterwards, really nasty.
Thank you for the warnings about Australia, we are sick of tourists getting themselves messed up (now can you get the non-swimmers to stay the heck out of the surf on our beaches, please?) My mother has 2 angel's trumpets in our garden - we love how it looks, smells really beautiful at night, otherwise we don't mess with it - the author Jane Bowles was supposed to have been poisoned over time by a tea made from the leaves (happened in Morocco where she and her husband the author Paul Bowles lived) - you should also mention oleander, popular ornamental shrub whose sap can blind you - personally i am most scared of the gimpi-gimpi (we don't have it in our part of Queensland, thankfully) - saw the documentary where the dude drank tea made from seeds of a common garden flower and i watched him FORGET HOW TO SIT UP. Creepy. NB Japoticaba berries are delicious. Important to remember that "natural" does not automatically equal "safe"!
Didn't know we even had non swimmers. Three coasts with oceans..and never ending lakes from the great lakes..ought to create a Nation of swimmers. These are our defects..you can keep em..
The other 2 blackberries in SoAm look VERY different than the safe one. It grows directly on the trunk where as one of the others is on red/purple stems (often bright colors represent DANGER!). The nightshade also didn’t grow directly on trunk. So not sure how anyone could mistake the poison berries for the safe berries (once someone tells you). But no one should ever eat things growing if they don’t know what it is they’re eating. Also, shldnt go just based on pics in a book as somethings are very similar and hard to tell apart from the novice. So a book ok to help BUT you should have a human actually teach you in the area and show you what’s what
I had a client i did landscaping work for in florida who had brugmansia in his back yard, and i ate 2 of the flowers, they arent necessarily fatal (but possibly could be, especially depending on use of SSRI antidepressants) as much as they cause intense severe hallucinations of the paranoid delusional dissociative type. The plant is closely related to datura, and paralysis is i believe dependent on the individuals reaction to the compounds contained in the flowers. I ended up completely losing my mind, but never did i become paralyzed even after eating the flowers. The hallucination lasted for the better half of an entire 24 hour period, i didnt sleep for almost 2 days from it. At first it was intensely euphoric, but the effects kept getting stronger and stronger until i couldnt control my vision anymore, depth perception disappeared entirely and the world looked like a 2d image, and then i began to spout nonsense and scream really loudly. Luckily i was on a private beach when i ate it, i probably would have ended up in a psych ward had i been seen by any member of the general public... They definitely arent worth trying, i have always been curious about psychoactive compounds, and i never will trip brugmansias ever again. its basically the most uncomfortable hallucinations ever. Stick with mushrooms DMT LSD and peyote, those arent going to be 24 hours of mental horror and delirium.... Afterwards for about 2 weeks i had ptsd about the event which eventually faded, it is indescribable of how terrifying the effect of scopolamine can truly be.
Another Australian plant is the waitawhile, named as such because of the hook-like thorns on its' branches that can actually hook into you and leave you trapped on the bush as the hook shaped thorns prevent you from getting off it without experiencing searing pain.
I live in the United States. I've heard about the dangerous Australian wildlife. After hearing about the dangerous plant life, I don't think I want to visit. Aussies aren't kidding when they say everything is trying to kill you.
Is that the same tree that was referred to as the (I'm going to invent the spelling here) Waytaba tree, in the movie "The God's Must Be Crazy"?@@lohanvanderwesthuizen1799
@@meegansandberg1308 To be fair you'll never see these plants on your standard nature walks especially if you follow trails. You kinda have to go out into the bush to be in any danger.
Yes, I made tea from the hanging trumpet flowers when I was about 15, and shared it with friends a few times: I barely made it home both times, and then proceeded to have lucid realistic dreams all night long, waking up to being twisted into my sheets and pillow on the floor, and roommate was staying at our house, said I was talking in my sleep and doing stuff all night long. We had about 3-4 different type of trumpet flowers: Brugmansia the "angels trumpets", the "milk-cup chalice vine" (Solana?) of the tropics, the purple datura or devil's trumpet, and then dif varieties of the brugmansias. Angels trumpet was best. Do not try this unless under the guide of a true shaman.
excellent video! i know for sure that all of the info on the manchineel tree is totally accurate. There have been people killed by this tree in the Virgin Islands.
Pokeweed grows all over the US, actually. We had massive problems with them in Ohio, and we never could get rid of the stuff in Kentucky. Just thought you might need to know that.
It's pretty prolific in Illinois too. When the landlord of the house next door to me was diagnosed with cancer, I mowed the front lawn for him. I couldn't mowed the back though because it was chock-full of poke berry. And yes, parts of it are edible. You can eat the leaves, but you have pick them when the plants are young and the leaves are just shoots or you'll be poisoned. Of course I remember Poke Salad Annie. Made the alligators look tame.
i live in australia and go to bunya mountains ever so often the seeds (which ive never seen) look dangerous but the leaves are fine as long as you dont do something like fall onto them
Honey locusts are dangerous, alright. One of my friends was hurt really, really bad when going to get a whiff of a honey locust tree, but came out with four cuts on his face, three on his chest, and at least eight on each arm because that particular honey locust had particularly sharp spines. Only one ended up being serious, thankfully. He still bears a 77-millimeter scar on his right upper arm, but it was terrifying seeing someone hurt that bad from a tree.
yeah those ship worms can be a problem but not as much as before due to most ships being made out of steel and iron by now, however they can be quite delicious and is said to taste like oysters
@@bhing1483 yeah they really are delicious and you dont have to worry about killing them because they die on contact with air and all you have to do is remove the head and tail and the things they ate and they are perfectly edible
I used to take horseback riding lessons in Southern California, and my teacher had a tree in her backyard that looked similar to a sandbox tree. I’m not entirely sure if it was one. It had the spines, but they were a little dull, not going to immediately puncture skin, which was lucky for me. I was a small 10 year old, and the horse I was riding that day was big, hyperactive, and unaware of his own strength. He nudged me with his head, which put me off balance and I fell down the small incline straight into the thorn tree. Either I got extremely lucky, or there’s another tree out there similar in appearance to the sandbox tree
@@ToiHatTinhCa Bee sting is not that painful, or that is how I remember, I am not sure why, but some 10 years ago I was squeezing grapes (maybe for making wine, but we have a special machine for that, I don't know why we were doing that...) and while squeezing those darn grapes maybe 3 or four bees stung me in the hands, there were bees in the grapes...I remember that it was painful, but not even near as painful as a wasp... I had one misfortune with a wasp, well that was really painful... But when it comes to my unfortunate contact with bugs, insects, the most painful and probably most dangerous was when I had close contact with one centipede, relatively large, those sometimes can enter the house and stay behind beds, or in some hole... I saw one, and I decided to be gentle, not to squash it, but I tried to catch that terrible thing with some paper towel...It stung me, and it was so excruciatingly painful, my hand was swollen and my brother took me to the hospital as fast as he could...They gave me something, some injection, but the pain lasted a long time.

Fun fact though the shipworms or otherwise known as "tamilok" in the philippines people eat these wood eating mollusks either raw while mixing it in vinegar and salt or eating it as is, some even dip it in a vinegar/alcohol called "tuba" (this alcohol can function as a vinegar and is extracted from a coconut tree.) just because its delicious. I tried some and it was not that bad if you just ignore the fact that it looks like a worm and sometimes you can chew some wood chunks in it... I think its a decent meal and it's surprisingly goes well with beer...
I am from Trinidad and Tobago where the sandbox trees are very common to find in the forests, usually when the spikes on the trees dry out, they fall onto the ground and can easily go up your shoes if you step on one
The monkey no-climb tree (in Florida called “The Unclimbable Tree”) you forgot to show how they have neon green veins that can look like they pulsate. I have pictures to prov.
A must watch. It`s got everything you need to know about dangerous trees. Great to keep note of whenever you go on a trip. Well done, keep it up, @BE AMAZED!
I've seen not a honey locust, but a similar spiky thorned trees in the midwest. I think the tree was called Osage Orange and had sticky, bumpy fruit. It was a nuisance tree for sure
Might be Osage orange but don't really know Honey locust sounds right too I only studied invasive vines, and wrote a 25 page report for school once, from English ivy to kudzu they do a number on a forest when not taken care of frequently When they only asked for a 5 page report, but I had 30 years experience with the vine when I wrote it Invasive Vine climb up one tree till that one falls, and finds another one. The vine itself is just a root outside the ground, that crawls then climes and holds on with an adaptation like spines, but more like root that move to their next victim The corpse of trees provided nutrients as it climb and take water from the ground meant for the tree in drought Cut the vine and get a drink of fresh water while taking them out, just slowing their progress as the vines are in the ground, it will grow back if you let it, making my day that much longer tomorrow 😊
I have seen black locust trees in the midwest, has thorns on the trunk and branches, but no where near as big as European buckthorn, which honey locust are on par with, osage orange, aka hedge apples are the usual try to be found on farm property lines.
@@rogerpartner1622 I think he said black locusts have poisonous individual thorns. Honey locust thorns are non-toxic with longer, thicker clusters of thorns.
Australia might have everything that may kill you, but it’s still freaking awesome. Everything you named in Australia is way up north where not many people reside. Indigenous people know how to live off the land. 😊
Every time I think about spending my holiday in Australia I stumble across such videos and question my idea. I didn´t know the angles trumpet is so dangerous. I see it often in green houses, even saw it on a balcony once.
The Australian stinging tree (Gympie-Gympie) also has the interesting ability to reverse your senses.....cold things become hot to touch, and vice-versa.
The Gympie-Gympie tree grows in the far north in the rainforests and no one lives in that region except perhaps a few passing Aborigines and they know to avoid it. Watch the Bush Tucker Man for survival tips.
I had a beautiful pink angel trumpet in my garden. It would freeze back to the ground during any winter hard freeze. Not often here in the Deep South. Never had any issues with it. I did know about it’s ‘drawbacks’.
In Puerto Rico they're known as campanas/bells and they are illegal had a few when I lived there but the law only refers to distribution and processing
Yeah I love the Angel trumpets. Growing up in Pflugerville Texas we had a moonflower with flowers the width of coffee saucers. I only later found out that it was the Datura producing species. It's amazing that none of us ever got poisoned and became a zombie. LoL
Grew up with Jaboticaba in Brazil, the fruit has a large pit but a delightful taste! Also saw Angel’s trumpets in a butterfly garden I used to volunteer at, they had signs near it basically telling people not to suck on the fallen flowers! 😂
Fun fact: when I was 5 years old, I got bit by a lot of fire ants. Here’s the story: So, when I was 5, I LOVED bugs. One time, at a park I saw a butterfly, it was in my nature to chase it. I went on a 15 minute chase around a park chasing this butterfly, when eventually, this butterfly flew over a fire ant pile and I was so focused on the butterfly, I stepped right in it, started screaming bloody murder, crying to tell my parents about my shoe full of fire ants. My mom was just as terrified to hear this, and so was my dad, but my dad calmed me down by saying it was just normal ants and I would be just fine. However when my dad was not around, my mom studied the bites and concluded it was fire ants.
Same hear but for i was runnimg around a park where i fell into a small hole with alot fire ant and went home with many fire ant in my back that still biting my skin
I was barely crawling and left in the yard while mom hung laundry up. I crawled into a sandpile that was the fireants home, I still have ant bit scars to this day. They rushed me to the hospital emergency room and gave me a penicillian shot, I was already covered in welts and then they discovered I was alergic to penicillan😳. Unluckly I didn't die and that was just the beginning of a lifetime of pain and misery.
I have encountered 2 fire ant small mounds starting in our backyard. I have observed that they are very aggressive. Even if you are a few feet away from them. For some reason, they must be able to smell humans. Bc, they slowly made their way towards me. We treated them and they never returned. We finally observed our neighbors yard. She had moved to Georgia and her home had been on the market for almost 3 years. Her back yard had been neglected. Lastly, she had many large Fire ant mounds. “Yeeks”! 🤯 They scare me to death. I have 3 GSD and 1 small Chihuahua. So I stay on top of any weird stuff that may look like it is a mound. That type of Ant is evil. 😬😳😩😡😈
Well in Philippines, during Martial Law, soldiers came to our barrio(recounted by my grandpa who was a captain/barrio leader at that time) and they told stories to my grandpa about those scary leaves they used as a wipe for their butt after they pooped in the forest. They didn't have tissue with them so they used whatever they can see in the jungle. One or two or three of the soldiers pullet out a leaf to wipe their ass and after 5 minutes they felt like their butts were fighting something too😅...the pain was terrible that when they reached our nipa house, my grandparents would take care of them until they become better😅 I have never seen that leaf and have never used any kind of rough leaves to wipe my butt when I was in the mountains during my childhood. All I used was the leaves of our coffee trees at the back of our chicken house. It was a smooth coffee leaves and it felt smooth and cool on the butt as I used it to wipe my butt. 😅 I have never popped in the middle of the forest because I had to no matter what happens, I had to run back home and do it in our compost pit toilet. Until now, I don't know that plant with itchy leaves and poor soldiers that they had to encounter that in our jungle 😆 it made them real men I think and some of them deserve it because some of them had bad behaviours 😂😂😂😂
7:37 This is why this video reminds me that I had a nightmare that I was in a dark, echoey attic, and the stairs were too sharp to climb down on, so I couldn't get out of there. However, I was able to ask them to let me climb on a ladder, and I was able to get out of the attic on the ladder. When I woke up, I was relieved to be away from sharp things and be out of high heights for real.
I grow sandbox trees in my back acre. The wood is lovely, turns out amazing pens and plaques, and the bursting seed pods are an absolute riot. Just not something to mess about with unaware of what you're dealing with there.
Interesting video. Nux Vomica wood is traditionally used in Sri Lanka to carve masks. Parsnips, a traditional European root veg often grown in allotments, can also give 2nd degree burns. I know I've - suffered from them. Twice (you'd think I would have learned the first time). I still grow parsnips though. Possible the sticky seed tree gets plant fertiliser from the rotten corpses of the dead birds, which is how triffids (fictional nasty plant) were supposed to use their stingers on their victims and why they were supposed to be able to move. The Belladona bit of Deadly Nightshade comes from the fact that it was used as a beauty product in eye drops to widen the pupils.
I drank angel’s trumpet tea as well. Never ended up cutting off any part of my body though. We obtained flowers from a plant nursery my friend worked at. The visions are like being in a horror movie, this is true. And the walls breathe. Also I kept forgetting to inhale and exhale. It was definitely scary.
We have both Honey Locust and Black Locust on the property. The HL thorns will go through tractor tires! They were also used in the past as sewing needles, hat pins, and a crude type of tack nail. BL used to be more of a problem, kids would seek them out to make pea-shooters out of the small branches. The wood slips easily out of the outer bark layer. Once dried they would either wrap the end or varnish it. The problem, of course, is that we’re talking about kids here. So poisonings from pea-shooters was a fairly common thing………
The "cold killer tree" provides natural fertilizer from decaying bird carcasses on the ground, so the seeds killing the birds can be beneficial. I've also seen the "Angel's Trumpet" plants throughout the San Diego Zoo.

Pokeweed is actually native to Eastern North America. I've seen tons on my walks to a local park that sits right next to a wooded river, and they like to grow along the upper edge of the flood plain where shade is abundant (I don't know if that's because it's less sunny, or because people remove them from everywhere else in case a child thinks it would be a good snack.) I don't know if it is or isn't in South America but it is native around where I live, and will probably be more common because of that.
Nightshade (Solanaceae) family is one of the coolest plant families. I have always been interested in how diverse the species contained within the family are, stuff all the way from ashwagandha to tobacco
The only problems i had with trees was falling out of them as a child, and crashing into them as a young adult :D I used to run into gorse bushes when i did cross-country running, and i can tell you that the poison in those spikes can give you burning muscle pain for hours!
I've stepped on a Gympie gympie leaf before 💀 Story: we were at this rainforest in Queensland and my siblings had no shoes on so i decided to copy them and take my shoes off and when tehy were looking at a tree i walked over to see what was there then i steppped on the leaf that fell down from the tree and i was "owwing" and my mum said "what what whats wrong" and she picked up the leaf i stepped on with her bare hands and her fingers were stingged too 💀 I was 8 years old back then Tip if u get stung: use sticky tape cuz it sticks the needles out of your skin

The bird killing tree DOES enjoy an evolutionary advantage by it's seeds sticking to birds. I don't know how scientists can't see that the seeds being stuck to the birds causes the birds to perish due to the seeds weighing them down. Then the seeds are spread as far as that bird can get and if the bird dies the seeds have a source of nutrients needed for seeding. If the bird is eaten and the seeds survive the gastric tract of the predator then they also get nutrients for seeding when passed.
Yep, as the bird's body decomposes, the soil around the seeds is enriched.
Yeah, I would imagine its victims trying to escape and run from it and similar trees (if they get a chance to) during their ordeal, ensuring a new patch of land to grow on with feathery fertilizer.
I'm sure the scientists have thought of this and that's why they looked into it. They probably found that it didn't help the seeds to spread and germinate after all. Have to take a look at their study.
I believe they were talking about the overkill of the stickiness.
If the bird is so weighed down it can't fly and dies then it never made it very far from the source of the seeds - the parent tree. The usual 'goal' of seeds that are sticky or stick via burrs is to allow the carrier to take the seed(s) a good distance. Same for seeds that are eaten and pooped out later.
The bird is so weighed down it can’t carry the seeds anywhere so the seeds are competing for root space with the mother plant
Thanks for the info! We have a Black Locust sapling growing in our back yard. I did not know what it was till I saw your video. I transplanted it before knowing about tour video. As I picked it up to put it in the hole I dug, I got stuck lightly and briefly by one of it's thorns. I immediately put some disinfectant on my little finger and cotinued working. I had a small red / numbish / red spot for 3 days. Thankfully the thorn did not go deep at all. After researching the poison effects from this tree It could have been much worse. Another person who's report I red was stuck much deeper with a Black Locust thorn and their entire index finger swole up so they could'nt bend the finger. Thankfully an MD told them it's not fatal and can be treated with Antihistamine and pain killers. The SEEDS, in particular, Bark, twigs and leaves are fatal however if ingested in the right quantity. I would recommend in the case of getting stung by these thorns to immediately take Antihistamine and wrap the stung area with a slightly moist Activated Charcoal compress which will draw out the toxins.

I have a Bunya Pine in my back yard. My Dad found it as a seedling in a pot in a garbage fill. He brought it home to my Mom who loved plants. She had never seen a plant like that before nor did she know its name. What she did know is that she didn't like the spiky leaves. She threw the pot with seedling out the back door and there it took root. That was about 50 years ago and the tree is still growing, or so I was told a few years ago by a Horticulturalist. He said that you know when the tree is fully mature when the top flattens out. If that's true, my tree isn't fully mature, yet.
The largest pine cone I've seen from this tree was about 6 inches in diameter and weighed about 1 to 1-1/2 pounds. It's rare to see a large one survive the fall. Smaller ones stay intact. When they hit the ground you can hear a very audible THUD.
The leaves grow on small branches. When the leaves are green they are sharp but pliable. When the turn brown, they are stiff and deadly to walk on without proper shoes. The main thing people dislike about the tree is the mess they make with the leafy branches year 'round, but worse during the fall and winter. Because the brown leaves are so sharp, clean up requires heavy leather gloves.
I had a crew come to take down some dying trees. The Foreman said that they had to take down a Bunya Pine and will never take on that task again for any amount of money.
I never knew the proper name for the tree until I saw this video. I've always known it as a Monkey Puzzle Tree, named so because it is said that it's the only tree a monkey can't climb.

I have seen several of these trees in my work, and living in several African and Carribean countries. There is another tree not mentioned in this video that is also found in the Carribean. It goes by the name Christmas Bush, because the leaves look similar to Holly leaves. It causes painful burns and blisters on your skin several hours after touching the leaves or the sap. I found out the hard way when clearing some ground to build a zipline in St. Martin, I had some of the sap on my hands when I had to go pee, lets just say I had burns where it is the most sensitive, as well as my hands, arms, and face.

Australia officially approves this tourism advertisement.
I agree 😅
12:20 wouldn't you think the seeds are extra sticky to prevent birds from pecking them off themselves and eating them? Also, how is it not beneficial to the progenity of the tree for a bird covered in seeds to be eaten by a predator? Wouldn't that predator then go forward and excrete the seeds elsewhere?
Good point. 🤔
It's still weird and pointless
@@EricLightning1 not pointless. An apex predator that ate a bird would get father to excrete the seeds than the small bird which was lower down on the food chain and the excretions of the predator which ate the bird would have fertiliser to start the process of making a new tree. It would actually greatly benefit the tree immensely.
@@gailasprey7787 Unless they found that these seeds don't germinate after passing through a predator. Maybe that's why the concluded that it doesn't benefit the tree after all. I wonder if their study has been published.

Living in Southern California you see many Brugmansia or Angel Trumpets. I discussed the poisonous nature of their Angel Trumpet with a neighbor that has one in her front yard, but she didn't care because it is so beautiful. She just keeps pruning it without gloves or protection anyway. Every time I see her doing yard work around her Angel Trumpet, I cringe.
I new the sandbox tree
Sorry I didn’t mean to say it to you
Yes I remember seeing the angel trumpets in Southern California myself! I remember my friend telling me that they were poisonous so I didn't go near them. They are so pretty but because they are sooo poisonous I wouldn't have one in my yard.
I've watched this video like 53 times and did a project in my french class about the manchineel. Thanks a lot for the information!
We had the honey stabby tree in our back yard in Detroit. I used to harvest the thorns to inscribe candles instead of using porcupine quills.... They are seriously sharp

As an Aussie, I can honestly say I have never so much as seen one of the trees mentioned here. These are the kinds of things you need to go waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere to find, or the restricted area of botanical gardens.
Koala bears, Quokkas, and wallabies.
I did not know those existed, good to know so I can be more careful as I like exploring nature!
Dog not allowed ect
20:40 mostly false. In most states you can legally carry knives in general. The maximum length only comes into play in certain states and in certain locations like schools. There are some
states that outright ban carrying knives
so the best things to wear if you go to australia are a gas mask(for all the gasses) a knight armor(for all the thorns,and also the poisonus plants) and a jet pack(because running away from an animal is already difficult and the armor makes it even harder).

That Angel's Trumpet is one I went near on a tour in Hawaii. The tour guide said they are extremely poisonous and not to get too close. And they are related to the Nightshade plant. I never really looked into the poisonous effects, but I see from this vid, it can really warp your mind as well as kill you.

Coconut trees are almost a staple plant & food in South East Asia, including my country Malaysia. We make foods & beauty products out of it. The more dangerous plant to touch than coconut you didn't mentioned in this video is the "King of Fruits" Durian tree. A tree that gives off spikes all round it. Farmers wear helmets to avoid the falling durians on their heads. The fruit inside is pungent like jackfruit but generally more sticky, bittersweet & heaty. Usually eaten during cooler season like monsoon. Some species - e.g.: the premium Musang King - can fetch up to USD15 per pound, depending on its grade.
Strangely, durians smell bad but taste good!
@@dinosaurpro6592 so true! Its smell is quite pungent that even most airlines forbid it to be carried onboard - the smell will linger a few days, even after you take it out of the car or plane in this case, despite many air-freshener sprays 🤣😬 But like you said, the taste of its flesh is worth the trouble despite its spiky & smelly appearance.👏👌👍💯🌟💕
Hi Rebecca. I was a Firefigher and was called to a wreck on the freeway. Getting out of the engine, I smelled what seemed to be insecticide. It turned out to be a truck carrying Durian fruit, preserved and entire raw fruits as well! Many years later I was invited to a Malaysian wedding and sampled a pudding made from this fruit. It tasted a lot better than it smelled. Most Americans have never heard of it, but occasionally you will find it offered in Malay based restaurants.
@@markseibert6369 haha, durians smelled like insecticide 🤭🤣 undoubtedly pungent initially, but glad you like it. Usually, when it is mixed ito the final food processing (e.g. ice cream, cakes, puddings, etc.) the "insecticide" pungent smell will be reduced/balanced out by other food ingredients. But oh dear, a (overturned or combusted) truck full of spiky durians...that was one hell of a smelly, thorny clean-up! 🤢💥

The Angel Trumpet tree has been a major problem in my hometown in Puerto Rico, where young people make tea out of the flowers to get the "hallucinogenic" effect. The DEA and the Police developed a task force to eradicate the ornamental plant from houses and farms to control the situation. I have seen the Angel Trumpet in many yards in the South area of Georgia and Florida.
I know about a dozen cases where one ended up like Zombie. Others died of the overdose. This guy walked day and night nonstop. He lost the skill to talk, and gesture, and never interacted with anybody. His family had to take care of him until he got lost and died of possible starvation.
Another case was this coworker who got a strange condition where he was talking day and night non-stop. Sometimes aggressive if you tried to interact with him. He demolished his mom's concrete house with a sledgehammer and several chisels working it day and night.
Because people are stupid has nothing to do with a beautiful awesome smelling tree. So how is the poppy plant and coco leave eradication programs going there? They kill 100's of millions...never hardly hear of angel trumpet anything. Drama?

Pokeweed is fairly common in the country and unkept backyards of Kansas. I've seen a total of 7 separate plants. And 4 for one area and generation. 2 for the next gen in the same area, and the last one on someone's backyard.

You see them in unkempt yards in Illinois too. I don't recommend removing them yourself. The berries are extremely poisonous and you can get sick. You shouldn't even harvest the leaves after the berries appear. You pick the leaves when the plant is young and the leaves are just shoots. They're very bitter tasting. As far as removing the plants from your yard, maybe a professional landscaper could do it with herbicides. I don't know. Where I live, folks just wait for winter. The first frost kills them.

For the grenade seed
The black locust tree is a neophyte all over central Europe. We have seen sheer explosions of its population over the last two decades and in many cities it has become a dominant sight, especially with cities adjacent to large rivers, railways or highways. Presumably the tree seeds are spread via transport routes.
The tree is incredibly resilient with regard to ground conditions acceptable for successful growth which enables large populations of the plant where other plants are unable to survive. Unfortunately the general public has not recognized the tree as a major problem, with regard to local flora. Most people are unaware of its toxicity and turn a blind eye to the tree displacing native tree populations.
One upside to mention though - the thorns of the black locust tree are to my knowledge only toxic at the young age of the tree. These thorns are also underdeveloped or gone in adult trees, so once the tree becomes sizable and no longer something resembling a bush, it becomes less dangerous to humans.

You should have included Giant Hogweed. The sap causes skin to react with light and bruise for months on end. Pretty serious plant, invasive to NA, was once considered ornamental due to its impressive size and appearance.
What is NA, North America? I’ve never seen it abbreviated like that before? Worse thing about the Hogweed is that it blocks people’s ability to resist the sun’s radiation , so they get these terrible radiation burns if they’re in the sun afterwards, really nasty.

The other 2 blackberries in SoAm look VERY different than the safe one. It grows directly on the trunk where as one of the others is on red/purple stems (often bright colors represent DANGER!). The nightshade also didn’t grow directly on trunk. So not sure how anyone could mistake the poison berries for the safe berries (once someone tells you). But no one should ever eat things growing if they don’t know what it is they’re eating. Also, shldnt go just based on pics in a book as somethings are very similar and hard to tell apart from the novice. So a book ok to help BUT you should have a human actually teach you in the area and show you what’s what

I had a client i did landscaping work for in florida who had brugmansia in his back yard, and i ate 2 of the flowers, they arent necessarily fatal (but possibly could be, especially depending on use of SSRI antidepressants) as much as they cause intense severe hallucinations of the paranoid delusional dissociative type. The plant is closely related to datura, and paralysis is i believe dependent on the individuals reaction to the compounds contained in the flowers. I ended up completely losing my mind, but never did i become paralyzed even after eating the flowers. The hallucination lasted for the better half of an entire 24 hour period, i didnt sleep for almost 2 days from it. At first it was intensely euphoric, but the effects kept getting stronger and stronger until i couldnt control my vision anymore, depth perception disappeared entirely and the world looked like a 2d image, and then i began to spout nonsense and scream really loudly. Luckily i was on a private beach when i ate it, i probably would have ended up in a psych ward had i been seen by any member of the general public... They definitely arent worth trying, i have always been curious about psychoactive compounds, and i never will trip brugmansias ever again. its basically the most uncomfortable hallucinations ever. Stick with mushrooms DMT LSD and peyote, those arent going to be 24 hours of mental horror and delirium.... Afterwards for about 2 weeks i had ptsd about the event which eventually faded, it is indescribable of how terrifying the effect of scopolamine can truly be.

I couldn't mowed the back though because it was chock-full of poke berry. And yes, parts of it are edible. You can eat the leaves, but you have pick them when the plants are young and the leaves are just shoots or you'll be poisoned. Of course I remember Poke Salad Annie. Made the alligators look tame.
i live in australia and go to bunya mountains ever so often the seeds (which ive never seen) look dangerous but the leaves are fine as long as you dont do something like fall onto them
You’re scaring little kids into thinking they will get holes in their hands!!!!
Honey locusts are dangerous, alright. One of my friends was hurt really, really bad when going to get a whiff of a honey locust tree, but came out with four cuts on his face, three on his chest, and at least eight on each arm because that particular honey locust had particularly sharp spines. Only one ended up being serious, thankfully. He still bears a 77-millimeter scar on his right upper arm, but it was terrifying seeing someone hurt that bad from a tree.
Sounds like your friend isn't too brite. Is he still alive today and has he smartened up?
Those seed grenades might be the next war weapon
True, soldiers will think its a normal.. thing and then kaboom! or just explode on impact.
It's time for World War 3

Yes lol
Shush don’t give the Asians even more ideas. Their sandals are powerful enough without any weapons if they have the seed bombs. We’re all gonna die
Didnt know pinecones could get so big. Those ship worms look like a real problem. Was fun and informative to watch. Great video
First bc this comment I think I is gonna be popular
Second
yeah those ship worms can be a problem but not as much as before due to most ships being made out of steel and iron by now, however they can be quite delicious and is said to taste like oysters
@@mavenrulz1719 with vinegar and sea salt, yes!
@@bhing1483 yeah they really are delicious and you dont have to worry about killing them because they die on contact with air and all you have to do is remove the head and tail and the things they ate and they are perfectly edible
Sean Mace was injured in San Francisco, not Australia.
True - While an Australian tree - they are found in California (not sure why)
I used to take horseback riding lessons in Southern California, and my teacher had a tree in her backyard that looked similar to a sandbox tree. I’m not entirely sure if it was one. It had the spines, but they were a little dull, not going to immediately puncture skin, which was lucky for me. I was a small 10 year old, and the horse I was riding that day was big, hyperactive, and unaware of his own strength. He nudged me with his head, which put me off balance and I fell down the small incline straight into the thorn tree. Either I got extremely lucky, or there’s another tree out there similar in appearance to the sandbox tree

That must be more painful than a bee sting
@@ToiHatTinhCa Bee sting is not that painful, or that is how I remember, I am not sure why, but some 10 years ago I was squeezing grapes (maybe for making wine, but we have a special machine for that, I don't know why we were doing that...) and while squeezing those darn grapes maybe 3 or four bees stung me in the hands, there were bees in the grapes...I remember that it was painful, but not even near as painful as a wasp... I had one misfortune with a wasp, well that was really painful... But when it comes to my unfortunate contact with bugs, insects, the most painful and probably most dangerous was when I had close contact with one centipede, relatively large, those sometimes can enter the house and stay behind beds, or in some hole... I saw one, and I decided to be gentle, not to squash it, but I tried to catch that terrible thing with some paper towel...It stung me, and it was so excruciatingly painful, my hand was swollen and my brother took me to the hospital as fast as he could...They gave me something, some injection, but the pain lasted a long time.
@@ozymandiasultor9480 BRO MY SISTER STEPPED ON 2 LIVE BEES SHES TRAUMATIZED BY IT TO THIS DAY
@@totes5555 Well, maybe she was still a child, it is painful, but not that painful...While squeezing that damn grape, a few stung me, 3 at least, maybe 4, but I was 27-28 then. It hurts, but nothing like a wasp, or god forbid hornet, and that darn centipede, well, that put fear in me, and I am checking the house on regular basis and I spray against insects.
And, maybe that you said she stepped on two of those at the same time...

Look like clay covers your hand and you poke it
Fun fact though the shipworms or otherwise known as "tamilok" in the philippines people eat these wood eating mollusks either raw while mixing it in vinegar and salt or eating it as is, some even dip it in a vinegar/alcohol called "tuba" (this alcohol can function as a vinegar and is extracted from a coconut tree.) just because its delicious. I tried some and it was not that bad if you just ignore the fact that it looks like a worm and sometimes you can chew some wood chunks in it... I think its a decent meal and it's surprisingly goes well with beer...
I am from Trinidad and Tobago where the sandbox trees are very common to find in the forests, usually when the spikes on the trees dry out, they fall onto the ground and can easily go up your shoes if you step on one
The birds make excellent fertilizer for the sticky seeds. As a biologist, I would say almost carnivorous.
some people has pointed this in comments idk why this channel has no idea tho lol
The monkey no-climb tree (in Florida called “The Unclimbable Tree”) you forgot to show how they have neon green veins that can look like they pulsate. I have pictures to prov.
What part of Florida? I've never seen one.
Sad fact is that inoccent people had to find all of these out the hard way
I wouldn't say they were innocent: they were probably vegetarians running around finding plants to murder.

Who knows, maybe they were in some sort of Saw themed forest.
No one's innocent, shouldn't be touching nature
@@MrGoddlie they did not know maybe they thought it was a normal thing and touched it
Oh flip I live in Australia I think I’ve seen that tree before
Yes, I have several Black Locust trees in my yard. And yes, they have really sharp thorns. I had no idea that they were poisonous!
Ever touch em
Wonderful videos. With yet more reasons why I will not be visiting Australia without a full suit of power armor.
😂😂😂 sounds like Fallout 4

This is why you don't mess with mother nature you're not mess with her creation this living beings are not meant to be mess with.
A must watch. It`s got everything you need to know about dangerous trees. Great to keep note of whenever you go on a trip. Well done, keep it up, @BE AMAZED!
Yes. Especially the shipworm. I would never go near that tree
I saw that tree in the thumbnail and I went aufly close to it 😮
I've seen not a honey locust, but a similar spiky thorned trees in the midwest. I think the tree was called Osage Orange and had sticky, bumpy fruit. It was a nuisance tree for sure
It was not uncommon for natives to make bow and arrows out of Osage orange wood
Might be Osage orange but don't really know
Honey locust sounds right too
I only studied invasive vines, and wrote a 25 page report for school once, from English ivy to kudzu they do a number on a forest when not taken care of frequently
When they only asked for a 5 page report, but I had 30 years experience with the vine when I wrote it
Invasive Vine climb up one tree till that one falls, and finds another one.
The vine itself is just a root outside the ground, that crawls then climes and holds on with an adaptation like spines, but more like root that move to their next victim
The corpse of trees provided nutrients as it climb and take water from the ground meant for the tree in drought
Cut the vine and get a drink of fresh water while taking them out, just slowing their progress as the vines are in the ground, it will grow back if you let it, making my day that much longer tomorrow 😊
I have seen black locust trees in the midwest, has thorns on the trunk and branches, but no where near as big as European buckthorn, which honey locust are on par with, osage orange, aka hedge apples are the usual try to be found on farm property lines.
Honey locusts ???? Errr Posionous. Nope. Never heard of them. Ok. Stop the misinformation ok
@@rogerpartner1622 I think he said black locusts have poisonous individual thorns. Honey locust thorns are non-toxic with longer, thicker clusters of thorns.
Australia might have everything that may kill you, but it’s still freaking awesome. Everything you named in Australia is way up north where not many people reside. Indigenous people know how to live off the land. 😊
North America is far more deadly. Lmfao

Both Bunya and Gympie are native to Queensland rainforests, so only go there if you're with a local guide and you'll be fiiiine...
Funnily enough up in the US Pokeweed seems to be a common plant that can just randomly appear in yards for little to no reason.
Pokeweed sounds like something that Pikachu would roll up and smoke
We eat poke all the time
The Australian stinging tree (Gympie-Gympie) also has the interesting ability to reverse your senses.....cold things become hot to touch, and vice-versa.
The Gympie-Gympie tree grows in the far north in the rainforests and no one lives in that region except perhaps a few passing Aborigines and they know to avoid it. Watch the Bush Tucker Man for survival tips.
Thanks for coming across this weekend
Fear Allah
I had a beautiful pink angel trumpet in my garden. It would freeze back to the ground during any winter hard freeze. Not often here in the Deep South. Never had any issues with it. I did know about it’s ‘drawbacks’.
In Puerto Rico they're known as campanas/bells and they are illegal had a few when I lived there but the law only refers to distribution and processing
Same
Yeah I love the Angel trumpets. Growing up in Pflugerville Texas we had a moonflower with flowers the width of coffee saucers. I only later found out that it was the Datura producing species. It's amazing that none of us ever got poisoned and became a zombie. LoL

The first tree is literally everywhere on the way to my hometown -
Grew up with Jaboticaba in Brazil, the fruit has a large pit but a delightful taste! Also saw Angel’s trumpets in a butterfly garden I used to volunteer at, they had signs near it basically telling people not to suck on the fallen flowers! 😂
We had Angel Trumpets in our garden here in San Diego. The tree or bush or whatever it was grew really fast.
There no actual poison apples
4:38 bro this is called a back bend I do it all the time
Fun fact: when I was 5 years old, I got bit by a lot of fire ants. Here’s the story: So, when I was 5, I LOVED bugs. One time, at a park I saw a butterfly, it was in my nature to chase it. I went on a 15 minute chase around a park chasing this butterfly, when eventually, this butterfly flew over a fire ant pile and I was so focused on the butterfly, I stepped right in it, started screaming bloody murder, crying to tell my parents about my shoe full of fire ants. My mom was just as terrified to hear this, and so was my dad, but my dad calmed me down by saying it was just normal ants and I would be just fine. However when my dad was not around, my mom studied the bites and concluded it was fire ants.
Same hear but for i was runnimg around a park where i fell into a small hole with alot fire ant and went home with many fire ant in my back that still biting my skin
I was bitten by fire ants when I was three 🔥 🐜
I was barely crawling and left in the yard while mom hung laundry up. I crawled into a sandpile that was the fireants home, I still have ant bit scars to this day. They rushed me to the hospital emergency room and gave me a penicillian shot, I was already covered in welts and then they discovered I was alergic to penicillan😳. Unluckly I didn't die and that was just the beginning of a lifetime of pain and misery.
I have encountered 2 fire ant small mounds starting in our backyard. I have observed that they are very aggressive. Even if you are a few feet away from them. For some reason, they must be able to smell humans. Bc, they slowly made their way towards me. We treated them and they never returned. We finally observed our neighbors yard. She had moved to Georgia and her home had been on the market for almost 3 years. Her back yard had been neglected. Lastly, she had many large Fire ant mounds. “Yeeks”! 🤯 They scare me to death. I have 3 GSD and 1 small Chihuahua. So I stay on top of any weird stuff that may look like it is a mound. That type of Ant is evil. 😬😳😩😡😈
Well in Philippines, during Martial Law, soldiers came to our barrio(recounted by my grandpa who was a captain/barrio leader at that time) and they told stories to my grandpa about those scary leaves they used as a wipe for their butt after they pooped in the forest. They didn't have tissue with them so they used whatever they can see in the jungle. One or two or three of the soldiers pullet out a leaf to wipe their ass and after 5 minutes they felt like their butts were fighting something too😅...the pain was terrible that when they reached our nipa house, my grandparents would take care of them until they become better😅 I have never seen that leaf and have never used any kind of rough leaves to wipe my butt when I was in the mountains during my childhood. All I used was the leaves of our coffee trees at the back of our chicken house. It was a smooth coffee leaves and it felt smooth and cool on the butt as I used it to wipe my butt. 😅 I have never popped in the middle of the forest because I had to no matter what happens, I had to run back home and do it in our compost pit toilet. Until now, I don't know that plant with itchy leaves and poor soldiers that they had to encounter that in our jungle 😆 it made them real men I think and some of them deserve it because some of them had bad behaviours 😂😂😂😂
Thank you. This is very helpful to know in case something happens
It wasn't helpful if somthing happens anyway!
@@honkytonk4465 on me it was .. *something*
7:37 This is why this video reminds me that I had a nightmare that I was in a dark, echoey attic, and the stairs were too sharp to climb down on, so I couldn't get out of there. However, I was able to ask them to let me climb on a ladder, and I was able to get out of the attic on the ladder. When I woke up, I was relieved to be away from sharp things and be out of high heights for real.
Thanks this was really informative 👍
Thank you for letting me know this. One of the trees at my school are a Mancholee I forgot how to spell that. But it is really dangerous so thank you!
I’ve seen the whistling tree, never knew that it was called that or why, thanks 👍🏻
I grow sandbox trees in my back acre. The wood is lovely, turns out amazing pens and plaques, and the bursting seed pods are an absolute riot. Just not something to mess about with unaware of what you're dealing with there.
Bro you live in danger
@@amedtabar3292 Yes
The seeds can be carved into dolphin shaped ornaments, or they can be grated and put into food as a laxative to purge greedy people.
If you’re a kid do not look
So
Interesting video.
Nux Vomica wood is traditionally used in Sri Lanka to carve masks.
Parsnips, a traditional European root veg often grown in allotments, can also give 2nd degree burns. I know I've - suffered from them. Twice (you'd think I would have learned the first time). I still grow parsnips though.
Possible the sticky seed tree gets plant fertiliser from the rotten corpses of the dead birds, which is how triffids (fictional nasty plant) were supposed to use their stingers on their victims and why they were supposed to be able to move.
The Belladona bit of Deadly Nightshade comes from the fact that it was used as a beauty product in eye drops to widen the pupils.
I drank angel’s trumpet tea as well. Never ended up cutting off any part of my body though. We obtained flowers from a plant nursery my friend worked at. The visions are like being in a horror movie, this is true. And the walls breathe. Also I kept forgetting to inhale and exhale. It was definitely scary.
My aunt from Indonesia told me they smoked them when they were young 😆
I suppose it could be used to concoct a real life "Fear Toxin."
Knowing how to forage is a good skill to have.

We have both Honey Locust and Black Locust on the property. The HL thorns will go through tractor tires! They were also used in the past as sewing needles, hat pins, and a crude type of tack nail. BL used to be more of a problem, kids would seek them out to make pea-shooters out of the small branches. The wood slips easily out of the outer bark layer. Once dried they would either wrap the end or varnish it. The problem, of course, is that we’re talking about kids here. So poisonings from pea-shooters was a fairly common thing………
Q hvkp
I stepped on a honey locust thorn once. It pierced the sole of my shoe and caused a nasty injury.
@@meegansandberg1308 They are nasty trees to have around….
The "cold killer tree" provides natural fertilizer from decaying bird carcasses on the ground, so the seeds killing the birds can be beneficial. I've also seen the "Angel's Trumpet" plants throughout the San Diego Zoo.

Pokeweed is actually native to Eastern North America. I've seen tons on my walks to a local park that sits right next to a wooded river, and they like to grow along the upper edge of the flood plain where shade is abundant (I don't know if that's because it's less sunny, or because people remove them from everywhere else in case a child thinks it would be a good snack.) I don't know if it is or isn't in South America but it is native around where I live, and will probably be more common because of that.

Deadly Nightshades grow as common weeds in front of my house, they look pretty neat but are kept in control every month.
Same here in cali. And in almond orchard along canals
Nightshade (Solanaceae) family is one of the coolest plant families. I have always been interested in how diverse the species contained within the family are, stuff all the way from ashwagandha to tobacco
The only problems i had with trees was falling out of them as a child, and crashing into them as a young adult :D I used to run into gorse bushes when i did cross-country running, and i can tell you that the poison in those spikes can give you burning muscle pain for hours!
I've stepped on a Gympie gympie leaf before 💀
Story: we were at this rainforest in Queensland and my siblings had no shoes on so i decided to copy them and take my shoes off and when tehy were looking at a tree i walked over to see what was there then i steppped on the leaf that fell down from the tree and i was "owwing" and my mum said "what what whats wrong" and she picked up the leaf i stepped on with her bare hands and her fingers were stingged too 💀
I was 8 years old back then
Tip if u get stung: use sticky tape cuz it sticks the needles out of your skin
Black locust tree spikes have been known to be used for nails and sewing needles in ancient native cultures.
also honey locust spikes DO have toxins coating them, but only when newly grown. Which probably applies to black locust too,.
