i once got my head stuck in a cotton candy machine to I know i the horrors
hair jokes aside it was a great video btw entertaining informative video
@Animalogic we burn this tree on holi.
Don't like the hair.
It would be really helpful if you would write the scientific name in the description. Please.
" *J A B I L L O* "
Okay, who thought the poisonous, explosive, thorn-covered tree would be the best option to import for shade?
😄
Someone who didn't want others to take their shade? A slightly insane person? Maybe both?
They could have probably been used as a fence or to protect livestock...I dunno?
Well, colonists were already wreaking havoc, so why not make their shade just as destructive? 🤔
Same idiot who introduced rabbits, foxes and cane toads to Australia?
The only thing that surprises me about this violent tree is that it’s not from Australia
its ok they got the gympie gympie for that
“Violent tree” is the funniest thing I’ve read.
I want to see a tree actively slapping people.
It would be perfect if this can grow in Austria
Amazonia will also spew some horrors too.
Honestly besides venomous snakes and spiders, Australian wildlife seem to get overrated by how dangerous it is.
I love this tree so much, the vast majority of plants evolved alongside animals to encourage them to spread their seeds but this one wanted NOTHING to do with that
Antisocial sapling.
Sigma sapling
Get away from me I'll do it mySELF!!!
Hikikomori sapling~
Lies again? Monsters Bear Yeti
I was thinking about this tree earlier today, and I just realized it’s probably the main inspiration for the Pimpillo grenades in Silksong, and Scatternuts in Monster Hunter World.
Both are handheld, pumpkin-shaped fruits. In Silksong, they’re literal grenades; in MHW, they work pretty much exactly like the real thing, and flinch monsters.
thats interesting!
As a monster hunter fan, I really never thought of that
The Deku nuts in Zelda?
There's a sword in terraria that shoots exploding nuts
There's also the Seed Bomb move in Pokémon.
I'm more curious about this tree's ancestor and what it experienced that it needed to develop such a powerful defense mechanism just to survive.
Most Brazilian plants and trees developed defense against the mega fauna, those defenses helped the plants to survive and they didn't needed to lose them so they just keep them even though they don't need those defenses anymore
@@Feuervix with global warming on the rise, they are gonna need it again.
@@AlphineWolf yeah you're right they gonna need even more defense mechanisms
@@Feuervix next will be M18 claymores growing out of it.
They didn't have to experience anything. It's just a random mutation that survived.
We have PLENTY of these suckers where I'm from. Locally we call them "monkey no climb" I believe that's self-explanatory. Also a long time ago the seeds were actually turned into earrings and Jewelry you can actually still find some today.
Ohh that’s interesting
Where are you from (if you don't mind me asking) bcuz "monkey no climb" is pidgin English (or broken) where I'm from.
Reminds me of the Monkey Puzzle Tree (also spiky)
🇹🇹 dolphin earings
I’m currently in Texas where they also call them “monkey no climb” or “monkey don’t climb” trees. They actually have a few live specimens on display at the Dallas World Aquarium.
In the 90's my grandma had the largest of these trees in the world in Pasadena CA in her backyard. Turned out itd roots got into a sewage pipe and was just getting super nutirents from there on top of my grandma watering it. Scientist came to study it it was quite a show lol.
I have a scaled down case in my hood! that things are Hulk destroying sidewalks 😮
Do you have any news articles or something about it online? I'd like to read about it tbh
Did your grandma also take home a coyote thinking i was a lost doggie? Lol
That is so cool
@@bloodshotred6334 I imagine none of the scientists survived long enough to write the article. Grandma just survived day by day because one doesn't mess with grandmas badass enough to have such a thing in the first place, and the tree knew that. lol
I lived in Haiti for quite a few years and I loved these trees. They called them "Pyé Mabi" and I never heard of anyone having trouble with them. On hot sunny days if you were lucky you'd hear the pop of a seed pod followed by a sound like falling glass shards tinkling as they fell down through the branches. Village kids would try to pluck the seed pods while they were still green so they could make cool little wheels for their homemade vehicles.
Ah yes, let's take this tree that's poisonous as f***k and introduce it to a brand new ecosystem as an ornamental. What could possibly go wrong?
So much sadly 🥲 especially if it becomes invasive
@@tequilaqwerty4812 it's not invasive but 100% you'll get diarrhea, I speak from experience.
@@koolid7839 care to explain how it isn't?
@@DissedRedEngie the tree need tropical climate to grow with warm environment and high humidity with slow growth relatively easy to kill and they can't compete with another plants, but if you get contact with the sap it will cause skin irritation and diarrhea so I won't recommend to plant that tree in your backyard or anywhere nearby.
😂
Growing up with these trees around we were never warned about how dangerous these trees could be. I remember the elderly showing my siblings and I how you could take the seeds and make some knick knacks with them. I guess we never really messed with them aside from taking some of the seeds because it was a giant thorny tree.
Looks like the thorns were self explanatory thankfully lol
I had one of these in my yard as a kid. I remember whacking the spikes off so it wouldn't scratch me if I tried to climb the trees next to it.
@@NK-qn6pqgenuinely, thank you for that image. "Wacking the spikes off it" gave me an amazing visual into your childhood. I didnt have a very nice one, so ❤❤ love you for this comment
@@dakotagarcia7781hey man! sorry for the random comment but if you like hearing about peoples' childhoods... ive got a whole lot i can ramble about! :D i hope this offer doesn't seem weird or anything haha, let me know ^v^
The street where I lived most of my life was full of tall trees. Half of them were mango trees and the other half were these trees.
I moved out of there five years ago, but I still have the reflex of covering my head everytime I hear some branches moving above me.
Mother nature has had enough tree hugging
ouh oh 💀💀
I think this tree should be called the Goose Tree, it never choses peace.
Lmao
JAJAJA 😂 😂 😂
COBRA CHICKENS......thanks OZZY
This tree is where geese live.
Every villain needs a Fortress of Darkness, after all.
well clearly it cant because something HORRIBLE happened to those trees in the past that it evolved to be like this
I kid you not. There are about 100 of these trees intentionally planted right in the middle of a Wet n Wild where hundreds of kids and families go to enjoy their time. This tree is no joke if one of those kids were to accidentally get pushed into it, I couldn't believe I saw these right out next to the common paths when I was there.
I was so confused because Wet N Wild is a makeup company and I was picturing a giant makeup store with these things somehow as a display 😂
Wtf is a Wet and Wild
Wet n Wild water park in Florida
@@johnhmielewski1230 oh well it's florida
That's Florida for you. It's basically Kentucky with money and a beaches.
The only tree that make it a point to not breathe in its general direction and embodies the saying “ don’t fluffing mess with me “
8 years ago, when travelling to Malta, I actually came across the sandbox tree while I went on a guide tour in a tropical garden with my mother and brother, where one of those was growing.
However, I did not know about it's exploding fruits until now. 😨
Floraligic is criminally underrated we need more. All 4 thumbs up.
How many thumbs do you have???
@@aceofspades5109 two at the hands and i guess two at the feet?
Yes I didn’t k so it was a thing until now! I love the illustrations.. I paint watercolor plants all the time, & have too many books full of them (I mean of other ppls art too not just my own sketchbooks)
Agreed
@@zero0creativity that's some awkward feet.
If it were not poisonous or exploding fruit and sap, It would be a really really cool tree with really cute pumpkin like fruits.
@@BiggMo Would they not be? And they are pretty cute and cool.
we could edit its genome to do such a thing.
Maybe one day ill make one for us.
When gentle breeze blow the leaf make nice sounds to
This tree IS cool, amazing and demands respect.
The spikes make it look like the log from clash royale
So happy The Green Planet finally aired on PBS in America, been waiting for so long to see it. There's a short segment where Sir. David Attenborough is talking about Water Cucumbers and sets one off with a twig in a field.
😄👍
We have a tree that has those sharp spines all over it’s trunk. Our tree is referred to as a Kaypoc. It blooms with pink flowers all over it around October. It’s root run out a long way to keep it survive our hurricanes.
Yes we have them in south Florida. I'm a retired tree trimmer and they are certainly challenging to climb and clean up but they are pretty when they bloom.
Yes we have them in south Florida. I'm a retired tree trimmer
Tree literally took "Don't thread on me" seriously
These plants aren't out to kill you, they're just very anti social and are scared to converse with anything so they make themselves as intimidating as possible.
This tree is nothing compared to manchineel tree. That thing is a spawn of hell
like a imtrovert killer
mood tbh
I need to wear some spikey armour
😂
I have these trees in my backyard, here in Puerto Rico. Never knew the “dangers”. Artisans make jewelry out of the seeds. Invasive iguanas climb the trees, eat the leafs. I hear the seed puds pop here and there with a shower of seeds dropping.
Seems like they are making your invasive iguana problem worse - and THORNS, POISON, DIARHEA....GEE, NO THANKS!
im sure you can legally kill the invasives?
@@peppermeat8059 It's native to the Caribbean, & Puerto Rico is part of that area. So I don't think it would seen as invasive, there.
Ain't no way! My school had 2 of those trees planted there for years, we used to call them "the spikey trees". We always played with the fruits, touched and removed the spikes from the tree, touched the leaves and trunk and everything and sat under it for shade. Then after one holiday they just disappeared. I was so upset about but I guess the school just finally realised how dangerous they were •.•
As someone who incessantly climbs random trees I see, this is concerning.
This isn't a joke I am serious.
Well, if you see a spiked coverd tree...... don't climb it?
This one says don't try it from a hundred yards away🤣
No no no , Go on~
Climb it , conquer the tree.
@@bemascu7087 I would only see the added grip benefits of the spikes
@@icantthinkofaname4265 ...but the poison...that's like trying to go through a blackberry bush without getting scrapes. Just isn't going to happen unless you are wearing some serious gear o.o
I love Floralogic. It tells me how dynamic & active the flora is, not just a green background. Please Tasha, keep doing these. Not just the most aggressive ones like this, I like all the videos from you.🥳
Ah yes, the most harmless plant in the Warhammer universe.
6:00 yea, let’s use a poisonous, thorny, grenade tree for shade. 😂
Please do an episode on poisonous, wild look-a-likes that resemble common foods!
The scientific name of the tree is the auto CC got it nearly right this time but it is often wildly off and it is hard work to actually find the species you are talking about.
Could you put the scientific names on the screen or in the description, please.
I love your videos and watch them all, but this one thing has bothered me quite often now.
Usually searching any of the colloquial names on Wikipedia will redirect you to the article with the scientific name, I think. That said, seconded: Clearly specifying the species at the start would be great.
i love your presentations. very interesting and you’re so optimistic - it really makes you feel better.
could you talk about how tree ecosystems communicate. like the Aspens in the west - Colorado etc. i’d really like to know more about it. thanks. have a great day. ☺️🌷🌱
OMG, YOU ARE WONDERFUL! Absolutely love your channel and show my seven year old nephew all of the videos when he visits. He draws pictures, and I help him understand certain words and phrases to make sure he gets the biggest educational punch. THANK you!
I’ve seen this tree so many times while hiking and never knew it was poisonous.
A similar tree is common in Southern California called the Silk Floss. We had them in my neighborhood. Thorny trunks but not poisonous like the Sandbox Tree.
An episode on mint plants would be really interesting!
Also, perhaps an episode on plants that were once considered harmless in their non-native region that are now considered invasive, like this tree.
I used to live in Venezuela when i was a kid and this tree was my absolute favorite. I had no clue it was so dangerous
Super common here in Argentina, we call them "Palo Borracho", very normal to find them in parks and plazas. Once as a joke we put some leafs in a co-worker mate he was drinking, lets say it's a very efective laxative.
I found this very informative 💜 I live in the Caribbean.. I saw some by the river. We have a saying on the island.... " Monkey know what tree it's climbing"... Meaning, when things are dangerous people tend to stay away.
Keep on sharing knowledge 👊💜
Ya know, I thought Alan Dean Foster was joking when he came up with pine-cone grenades (armed by the trees themselves!) in one of his _Spellsinger_ books. Today I learned that's kind of a real thing. Thanks, Floralogic, for making my weekend just a little more awesome.
This is incredible! Amazing the diversity of our planet!
I grew up with that tree at my house. We called it SALVADERA.
I don’t remember anybody dying from it. It was fun to listen the seeds exploding.
These trees are awesome! In a fantasy sci fi world I'm developing, the weaponry is based off of plants, and the dominant race uses a genetically modified version of these exploding seeds as the equivalent of their frag grenades and rockets.
Sounds interesting! I can imagine this tree being able to play a role in your world if you're planning to add it
Imagine if other plants could give you basic weapons, _the sandbox tree definitely is the equivalent of bringing a tank over_
These trees are extremely common in Guanacaste CR and all over western Nicaragua they grow on the semi arid dry tropical forest around the pacific and it areas where it rains more often it’s kinda of like a pest growing everywhere. Ppl use them as post for supporting wire fences similar to the way they use gumbo limbos for this and because of this the trees spread rapidly. They get confused alot With the ceiba Espinosa tree when young
Man your episodes just keep getting better and better.
Excellent work °~•.☆.•~°
And I thought the honeylocust was bad.
Thank you for this, I walk by one of these trees almost every day in my neighborhood.
I had one of these breeds, my neighbor had a few in his yard. These trees produce some of the nicest looking flowers
So someone saw this tree and really thought "Hmm. This will make for an excellent shade tree in Africa"???
This is so cool and really fascinating 😀
We have a sandbox tree at our school. It's an iconic feature of school.
Its crazy how my grandmother and i were talking about this tree, we have one that has been on our land forever. She always told me about the dangers of this tree.
I'm surprised there's only one . The way they put out those seeds, there should be many trees. Maybe the animals eat the seeds.
@@kellikelli4413i would say that must be the answer to it because out of 7 acres of land its the only one and has been for 4 generations
Imagine the Huorns if the climate of Fangorn Forest had been right for sandbox trees.
Have a bunch of these trees close to me and always called them murder trees or giants club, lol. They always looked rather nefarious...
Cute hair btw! 😻
Normal trees: "I'll use you to spread my seeds via fruits."
Sandbox tree: *"I will fricking kill all of you"*
Your plant backdrop in your intro is….. On point!!! Love it 🥰 🎉
Love to see a video about calathea, maybe focusing on rhizomatic growth and it’s relationship to arrowroot? Love the channel.
in my childhood.. I'm always playing under this tree with my friends
I think that an episode on "Jewel Weed" would be great. It grows in my area (Southern Ontario) and launches its edible seeds at the slightest touch.
Amazing episode love how fascinating you make every episode
if you haven’t, you should definitely cover poke berries at some point!!!! i’ve been fascinated with them sense I was a kid, and they’re one of the plants that made me fall in love with the plant kingdom
Man enters forest
This tree "so you have chosen death"
I have personal experience with this tree. I used to collect the seeds and we play traditional games with it. The seeds are very light. Though the plant releases it's seeds with a loud noise, nobody gets hurt because of the lightness of the seeds
Plants are widely underappreciated, they are as awesome as many animals
Ok, I have no clue what's going on. The instant Tasha said "it's part of... THE PURGE" My app crashed. Should I take it as a sign? Does TH-cam know more than I do here?
Are you threatening me Tasha ?
Thanks for the information!
Thank you for sharing!
And I thought the Manchineel tree was bad.
I would say the Manchineel is still worse all you have to you is stand under it and you will likely be hit with its toxins.
@@Hurricayne92 True.
More episodes on evil Flora please! So interesting :) Also, love TtA!
Cool, I’ve seen these trees, always found the spikes interesting
We have those trees here in 🇧🇧 It's called the Sandbox tree or "Monkey no Climb".
I learned some more interesting facts today, thanks!
I've seen something similar around a park near my home, don't know if it has fruits or if it's poisonous but it's very similar in appearance.
Could be a polar bear.
Her hair looks like cotton candy. Yummm
I'd be curious to see you cover the Manchineel Tree. I've heard about their danger before but I do still live in an area where they could possibly be found so I'd like to see more about them, lol.
Manchineel tress scare the CRAP out of me. You can't stand under it in the rain, you can't eat it, and you can't even burn it to get it off your property.
Lol I love the energy of the speaker. They made it easier to absorb information ❤
We have plenty of "globularia vulgaris" here in algeria! Would love to hear you talk about such plant, and other North African plants too ... please ! 😀
Sandbox Tree and Manchineel team up would be the stuff of nightmares...
Imagine if they can hybridize...
These trees must’ve beat the Aliens the first time
I remember my city had these planted at a nearby shopping district, glad to know they are long gone now.
I love your videos! Plants are underrated.
That thorny trunk initially made me think this was the Floss Silk Tree. Must be a form of convergent evolution.
Would love a spotlight about the Cape Chestnut Tree.
P.S: That poison outro was 🔥🔥🔥
Dodgeball with one of these fruits would be one hell of a game
We had this in our neighborhood. After 20 years or so( this tree is planted before we move in), they got chopped down. Finally, never gonna worry about bombardment n shrapnels flying
If I remember correctly you already did a video about the Manzanita tree, didn't you?
If not, there is another assassin tree to compete with this one, worts part about that one is that just standing under it is already very dangerous, so you can't even use it for shade 😂
Can't even think of that tree without... AHHHH!
Joke is on it...I've taken 0 bites and I've been questioning my life choices my whole adult life.
Funny thing is this tree save my life, I went into hiking and it was raining steep climb I slip and fell trying to catch on other tree branches it broke so the only tree to support me was this tree I manage to get a hold and because of the spine the tree has it grip well so I was saved even though it hurt a bit because I have no glove on atleast I'm not dead
Wow this brought back memories. There was one of these at my middleschool and I would play around it waiting to get picked up afterschool.
No one warned us how dangerous it was.
What a DYNAMITE video! I am so happy that the tree I (and possibly many others) suggested was featured in a video. Thank you
Clash Royale log irl 💀
That was fascinating, thank you.
I love how they dont show a single clip demonstrating the seeds shooting out on their own, just clips of people smashing them with sticks and having the pieces shoot out everywhere lmao.
My father was one of the few crazy people to actually climb these just to eat the seeds, however it was a very green thorny tree, from his experience he would get desperately hungry and would climb the tree eat the seeds (horrible tasting) and just get out looking like he was mauled by a bear
So if it's so easy for this tree to reproduce, what keeps it from spreading outside the tropics? What's the balance force to keep it from growing out of control?
Probably lack of heat or humidity, there's always a catch to evolutionary factors.
@@pokemonfanmario7694 most likely, i mean with that much going on you will need abundant resources
@@pokemonfanmario7694 Yeah, presumably in more temperate areas the seeds don't get hot enough to explode and disperse themselves
I also saw this sandbox tree in my country, Kenya, with the spines on its stems around roadsides in some residential areas.
this tree woke up and choose to evolve its skill tree to full violence.
Very anthropocentric video. This “dangerous “ tree is source of food for macaws. Children in South America used the seeds as”tires” for our car toys; the marks on the ground would be similar to those of tractor tires.
💪💯 same in 🇩🇴DR carritos de Javilla 🤗
The humor feels a bit forced to me, so I'd appreciate if you focused more on the facts. You also repeated the recording of the exploding seed too many times, it reminded me of cheap tv documentary productions. If I want to see the exploding seed again, I'd rewind. The topic was great and it was definitely something I didn't know about, though the production made me skip through the video a lot of times.
its the only video of the seed exploding there really aren't any other video that shows the seeds exploding
There is a similar tree in Texas called a locust tree. Same thorns covering the whole tree that are poison tipped. You can eat the fruit though and native Americans used it medicinally for centuries
I had absolutely no idea this thing existed thnx for the info.
Hahahahaha the ending though 😂😂😂 that was awesomeness
I love this tree; right above the Sundew plant in my list of favorite flora
Ahh yes, the black Air Force 1s of the tree world
Years ago I was in Costa Rica with a group helping to build houses. We got to one work site the first day, and the head builder was talking to our group translator about the hill that we had to hike up to get to the site. Our translator turned to us in mild confusion and goes "He says... don't touch the trees? I'm pretty sure I'm translating that right". We all thought it was weird but followed instructions. We didn't figure it out until we got to the top of the hill and saw one of these massive things at the work site. The builder walked by as we noticed it, and nodded at it in a universal "See what I mean?" gesture. Thankfully it rained that day, because we were NOT warned about the exploding seed pods. I don't think the guy in our group was quite proficient enough to understand and communicate that part. 😄
