"Removing hogweed... Watch what happens" - spoiler alert - the hogweed is not removed and nothing happens.
Badum tsss!
Also spoiler - it is not 18 feet tall...
thank you. disliked the vid
"7ft Giant Hogweed plant, watch watch happens when we don't remove it"
Are we just gonna ignore how she is just chilling in its leaves.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I noticed that too, the leaves were brushing against her
I was literally coming here to comment that she just chilling there with her mic 🎤 hugging the plant
She passed away shortly after filming.
the leaves aren't dangerous, it's the sap which is in the stem.
This is by far the most clickbait title I’ve ever seen on this site. Absolutely nothing happened. They didn’t even touch it.
She kinda did. Brushing up against its leaves. Wonder if she got 3rd degree burns after..
Reporter : It's dangerous
Also reporter : cuddling with it
Title: "removing giant hogweed"
Video: does not remove giant hogweed
I'm disappointed i didn't see no one shovelling an 18ft giant hogweed out the ground. Done us all over 😂
Wtf the leaf is touching her bare hand in the end...
The thing that makes it burn is in the stem
@@glo0292 No, Nick. It is in all parts of the plant, leaves included. :D
@@Sedgehun she would've gotten burnt then 😑😕
@@glo0292 Nah man, its the juice, not the outside of the leaf! xD
@@glo0292 It isn't poison ivy where the toxic chemical is on the outside of the plant, but you should still not touch it!
It's not just on waterways. Very common along road and rail lines, and also invades urban wasteland.
With deep regret we have to announce that the cameraman and the anchor lady were savagely ambushed by the 18 feet Hogweed,shortly after this video was filmed.
Not funny stuff, blistered me like hot grease, left scars
@@nickscott2191 its really not iv seen some VERY serious burns as a result of contact with this plant its no joke at all
@@nickscott2191 "tripitz19" was just trying to say that we've been clickbaited by the "18 foot" in the title, as there was no 18 ft. hogweed in this video.
They didn't tell Hogweed flowers just in the second year of growing.
and it develops a giant root stock, so it is important to get the roots out totally and ASAP.
And it generates thousands of seeds!
Just squirt about a gallon of glycosophate at it, should do the trick
Some bored soul counted the seeds and it averages out at 50,000 per plant
As you hint, the easiest way is to cut and remove the roots. I find that if you cut roots at 6" below soil level and remove the plant then repeat if it re-grows, it will kill it. If you cut it when it is flowering or near to flowering, there is enough sap remaining in the stem to allow it to set and mature seeds. Burn material immediately and keep out of the smoke. If you are working with hogweed, suit up and wear a full face mask. Work on a cloudy day, and be sure to hose down the suit before removing it and then take a shower yourself. I learnt the hard way so, hopefully, you don't have to.
[total root removal is impossible - I have tracked them down over 3 feet and given up]
When I cut down many trees, especially things that live in America's Temperate Rain Forest, such as the Western Red Maple, AKA Acer Macrophyllum/Acer Rubus (Take your pick), I need to spray the Cambium Layer with Garlon, or some other Herbicide, or all I did was just shorten the tree, and to the ground, at that. Sometimes I let that happen on Dolphin, though, but, when the tree is in "The wrong place..."
Some form of Herbicide sounds called for in this case.
Consult your state's Agricultural Agency or an Agricultural Department at your state's college. _And follow the directions RELIGIOUSLY!
@@bigoldgrizzly No farmer of scientist is going to count 50,000 seeds.
We count many batches of 100 or 1000 seeds, weigh them out, and get an average weight for batches of seeds. We then weigh the Lot in question, and do some simple Maff.
The purple streaks on the stem are also on the poison hemlock plant.
giant banana meets giant hogweed
...and the banana did a backflip and snapped the hogweed's neck?
Videos like this is why I always root for the plant when Little Shop of Horrors comes on.
"Does it have to be human? _Does it HAVE to be MINE?_"
The fun fact is, that its Japanese knotweed behind it which is way more of a problem than this hogweed...
Not really, Knotweed is a problem but its not phototoxic and it doesn't make the ground around it toxic like Giant Hogweed does in critical mass. In the USSR they had the idea of using this as silage for cattle feed and planted it as a crop, now decades on its destroyed almost 40% of the arable land because it went uncontrolled after the collapse of the USSR. It shares all the traits Knotweed has, deep roots, growing fast and ability to get a foothold in almost any condition and is resistant to drought and frost too.
Yeah I thought that too 😂😂😂 It's like a property insurer's worst nightmare in real life!!
@@Tuberuser187 JKW might not be toxic but it is almost impossible to get rid of - it spreads like wildfire, causes subsidence by sucking water from soil to keep growing, and will literally grow straight up through concrete from underneath. It renders the land it's found on almost worthless, and devalues adjacent properties too.
Did they even remove the weed? And how tall is that lady cause that weed did not look 18 feet
Knotweed chilling in the background be like
Basically almost turns you into a vampire
Missed it....wtf happens....clickbait!
Lol
They have left out so much information. If you are getting rid of it while it is young, you must remove it with the root. If you are lazy like me and don't want to dig, then let it flower and hack it down before it goes to seed. The rest of it will just die on its own as it has spent all of its energy in the flower. But it is important you do it before it goes into seed. The seeds can lay dormant in the ground several years, so you have to revisit that area regularly and repeat the process if necessary till all the seeds have grown and all the plants hacked.
Note: common hogweed is similar to giant hogweed but completely harmless. We have common hogweed in our back garden, in flower right now, approx 12 feet high, superb; I pulled a few leaves off without protection, no problems. TH-cam search for the differences.
Can you smoke it ;)
Yeah, if you want to die.
yep. try. will end up on Darwin's list.
There are also Latvians in the Latvian countryside,which restricts the spread of Latvian!🇱🇻🇱🇻
So much info missing from this lightweight 'report'.... Also, I like how she removes some protective gear to go and stand amongst the plant 🤦
at around the 1:29 mark of this video, she fuckin brushes her arm and eventually her hand against the leaves of the plant, which is where the plant is most dangerous to touch… lmaoo
I'm more concerned about someone removing my giant weed plant before I can.
I'm calling Ghost Busters
clickbait title !
Having said that, do not underestimate this stuff, nor the smaller common hogweed. I found out the hard way..... using a weed wacker, shirt off on a hot sunny day ! .... Months of grief and permanent scarring
What about seeds? will seeds disperse during removal?
there will, especial when you "dehood" them!!
If you catch it early enough the seeds wont mature so spreading them wont be an issue :) usually if there are still a lot of flowers on the plant the chances of having viable seeds are very low
If it’s too late to catch it before the seeds are mature, put a large bag over the seed heads and tape it closely to the stem before you start moving the plant around
Do it before they go to seed
@@pygmygiant
You do know these plants reach an average height of 15ft
Misleading title. They didn't remove it, just talked about it. It also wasn't 18 feet, it was only 7 feet. And the reporter wasn't even properly protected while telling people (incorrectly) which protective measures to take (don't leave your face exposed ffs). Thumbs down.
Is it just me or was it touching her hand
Watch what happens: I watched nothing happen get outta here
You were almost touching it with possibly your hair and your hand as you held the mic.
Be careful.
Weather network cant even get the size right.
US Congress: Watch what happens!
Where do I get some
I'm from India🇮🇳 jammu how's to grow hear please response very very thank of your
Where I live, giant hogweed is injected in the stem with herbacide and then removed a few days later.
why not just remove it and save a step?
Because it might fight back...?
@@thomasneal9291 Because that requires a lot of touching of the plant before it dies and stops producing the Nasty Stuff.
@@thomasneal9291 20,000 seeds per plant, that remain alive for 7 years.
the host may or may not be irritating
e
Beautiful plant
It looks ugly
This is more of a parasite than plant. I fckin hate it.
Impressive!
Wait.. what happened?
I once made a salad with this in the 60's 🇨🇦 71+ Yorkshire expat. All my friends died thank God I'm a meateater
🤣🤣🤣
@@BillSikes. thank you fellow carnivore 🐻
This is so funny!
There is nothing in the title that is correct.....
It is not 18 feet tall, its 7 feet tall,.
She does not removed it she just looks at it
Watching this nothing happens,.
Just a pretty boring news story about how bad Hogweed is....
Plus you get to see the exciting action as the reporter puts on a protective suit....
Cleopatra, the Addams's African Strangler, was waiting patiently behind the hogweed
She’s uncomfortably close to it
So .......... what happened when you click-bait titled "Watch what happens"??????????
So apparently nothing happens.
Have you ever heard of the manchineel tree?
Going blind is my worst fear
Every Genesis fan has heard of it..
I thought you should remove it at night.
Nothing happens. Clickbait. The plant isn’t removed at all in the video. Okay, ya got me this time…
I love the hogweed plant! Its wonderful!😂😂😂 It never burned me! Lol
Because, not all hogweeds are harmful. This one is.
It doesn't burn anyone, it just removes the skins UV protection, it's the Sun that does all the burning
Nothing happened
Nothing happened, you just stood there talking into a Microphone and posing next to the plant , miss information ?????
She said hog wheat?
This grew in my grandparents backyard as a kid. I’ve come in contact with this plant and nothing has ever happened to me.
SaraiYah Yisrael if you don’t get the poison on you Will not feel anything. And the posion only works in sunlight
that was cow parsley, *not* giant hogweed. If it was giant hogweed, you would *definitely* have known. Your skin will begin to form blisters from where the contact was, and sometimes depending on the severity, it will leave a permanent scar.
Gary Wilson nice to see someone with common sense around here.
There are a lot of plants that look very like this e.g. hogweed (without the giant bit), which can reach six or seven foot tall but are not harmful.
@@oscarmoen that is because the "poison" isnt actually poison. It just removes your immunity to the UV rays from the sun.
CLICK BAIT!!! - Nothing happened. AND she stood in the leaf without a glove on her hand like an idiot. they didn't even remove the plant.
Mosquito of the plant world
Nothing happened? Wtf lol
Oh its so pretty 0:14! I just want to grab it and hold it and kiss it and give some to all my friends. Days later...
Dude, just chop it from the base and let it dry up. Don’t do anything until its dry…
Too bad my melanin protects me from hogweed. 😂
Lorenzo L no it doesn't.
Unfortunately it doesn't. If some of its sap gets into your eyes it will damage them. That happens occasionally. Only needs to be a spray of a few small drops e.g. when a stem snaps.
It affords SOME protection but the idea that people with dark skin are somehow immune to it is absolutely false. I’m a surgical assistant in paediatric burns and it’s not just white people who are affected. You also need to know to be extra careful getting it anywhere near your eyes. If sap gets on your skin, wash it well and keep away from sunlight for a couple of days, but if it goes in your eyes please go to the nearest hospital immediately.
@@pygmygiant I really hope some of these racist idiots do get some on their skin. They might learn their lesson.
Bacon and bud my two favorite things light this baby up
Her had was too close.
This video Was on my weather network app. Why would they post the title 18 foot plant watch what happens? It’s 7 feet and nothing happens. The weather network is bad for posting click bait. Don’t see the point, it’s tacky.
Yeah click bait much
A plant that strikes back against humans. I absolutely love it!
So let's protect such plants. They might come handy.
Hue -mans dont react w/ it . Neaderthalians thats another story.
The funny thing is it does NOT hurt me. I have exactly the same plant in my garden and even seen and touched in another place.
I am not in the least sensitive, these plants do NOT harm me. I have tested this in two different places. Just check my latest videos on Giant Hogweed. :)
@@GabrieleMeurer yeah, becasue removing 20-40% of agricultural space in a whole ass country and being immune to everything expect a flamethrower is definetley useful. oh and it ruins whole biomes and spreads insaneley fast
What happens? Clickbait.
I used to touch this plant but it only grow to like my knees so I don't know if it's a hogweed I also have a creek behind my yard fence
That's a different species. There are several that look similar.
CAMPERS, CANOERS, KAYAKERS, TUBERS, ETC, MUST CAREFUL TO POLICE LANDING AREAS, INPUT AREAS, AND PRIMITIVE CAMPSITES!!!
Mighty Hogweed is avenged!
Human bodies soon will know our anger
Kill them with your Hogweed hairs!
Heracleum Mantegazziani
Does anybody else dry the seed pods of this plant and grind th up to season food
nope. you do it and let us know how it went.
The walking dead? Anyone?
Jup
I knew the plant alrdy! Its called berenklauw over here (bearsclaw) nasty plant
Worst video about hogweed on the whole internet
that looks scarry. everyone would flee avay!
Nothing happens. Con
Well that was a waste of time. A completely made up title that doesn't matcht the video, great...
You silly reporters playing dress up in hazmat suits when gloves will do.
America is my favourite reality TV show lol hazmat suit?! We used to slash them down with sticks as kids, I still do when out bushcrafting!
Yep same. That pop when the stem breaks is so satisfying and addictive 😂
@@elliotjones5961 lol yeah it definitely is!Even more satisfying knowing you've just killed somethin that could blind you! Enjoy dude :D
That wasn't giant hogweed. If it was, the moment you touched it, your immunity to the UV rays from the sun is removed. So, yeah that wasn't GIANT hogweed. There are other species which are usually smaller and cant harm you if you touch them
clickbait video, bad overall
My brother and myself used to have sword fights with hogweed, never burnt us.
It’s mad to see what happens to some people.
There are several plants that look similar but are not hogweed. You wouldn't have been playing with giant hogweed.
You wouldn't choose this plant for a sword fight, it's stem is covered in needle sharp hairs, you were probably playing with Hemlock
Standard hogweed / cow parsley grows tall (about 3 feet high) but is not dangerous even though it looks similar. GHW is pretty obvious as it will literally tower over you when fully grown.
Call it poison hemlock there are many plants called " hogweed
What did you expect an accurate story ,,,she’s in media .
18' clickbait!!!
