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

The dragon’s blood tree you CAN touch, just stay away from its very watery resin/sap (a bit in between those 2 things considered to be a tree’s healing and draining blood) if you have no use for it. But it can be used as an antiseptic and as a coagulant when used on a small wound that could get infected. Rub it on that wound enough and the sap will turn white. That’s why he mentioned medical research, likely.

@PurringWonderland 10 месяцев назад

I thought they must be exaggerating with that "blood" flow from the tree. I started to look up other videos of it and saw that it wasn't faked. That's so weird looking, both that it's red and that it pours out like that.

@Stack_4_the_underscore_ 10 месяцев назад

@@PurringWonderland Yup! If you were to like, make a 2 inch deep cut from the tree, the sap would gush as much or maybe even more than an artery pulverized by a bayonet to the brain or heart or whatever-you get the picture.

@chrisnemec5644 Год назад

Another tree to avoid is the Honey Locust, a variant of the Black Locust. This tree, which is native to North America, is classified as a "very aggressive" invasive species elsewhere. The tree is dangerous not because of toxic chemicals, but because it's covered in sharp thorns, some of which can reach 7 inches (about 17 cm) in length. These thorns are very durable and can easily pierce the skin and tires. They were used by early pioneers to North America as a substitute for nails.

@lewiemcneely9143 Год назад

I was thinking the same thing. I was helping build a pumphouse for a friend next to one and it scared me to death just thinking about just brushing into it. The thorns were around 3 inches long and a hypo is not nearly as sharp as they are. Would make a great hedge I guess because nothing but an a-bomb could go through it.

Some addition to the Common Yew Tree: This tree is extremly present where i live, and the wood is known to be extremly durable. Howerver it is not recomendet to craft things out of it without a special coating since even the sawdust or longer contact with your barehands causes headaches or vometing. inside these red fruits are the acutual seeds which are dark green and around 3 of these should be enough to take your personal trip to the shadowrealm. So even if the red parts are theoretical save to eat, i would not do it.

The devils tree isn't a legend. It could be any old tree from any old neighbor who doesn't like people on their property. It's almost a literature device/allegory for "tread lightly" or "beware of dogs". Or another more common one "trespassers will be shot".

Ever heard of the Donkey Tree in Springfield Kentucky of Washington County? It’s an old legend that goes back over 100 years ago. If you touch it you will be cursed along with your family and friends. Horrible luck will be bestowed upon you and your loved ones! If you respect it and place an apple in its “mouth” you will be blessed. Four years ago my nephew Freddie (my older sister’s second child) cursed at the tree and not only did he touch it but he climbed it! He poured gasoline on it and set it afire! The tree recovered and it’s growing fine to this day. In August 2020, his mother, my dear sister died. A year later her husband died (his father) In August 2023 my nephew dies of a heart attack at age 37 😢 I don’t believe in superstition but seriously I won’t go testing it either!!! I’ve lost three people I love tremendously in just three years! My heart aches for my 74 year old Mother who lost her first born child along with her second grandchild! I never thought I was superstitious but seriously don’t wanna ever test this again! 😢😢😢
