Don't Touch This Plant! 

Thanks you guys

Established Titles has been confirmed to be a scam by the Scottish courts. Scotland takes titles VERY seriously and does not give them based on owning a small amount of land. Established Titles does not give you a title, they send you a fake document. They also show no evidence of using your money cor land conservation and is actually using it to flip property.

A little upset to see Established Titles as a sponsor; the whole "buy a square foot of land in Scotland and become a Lord/Lady" is a scam. All you've done is buy a piece of paper. The land isn't transferred to you legally speaking, and even if it was, it still wouldn't make you a Lord/Lady. The only actual ways to gain the title is to be one by heritage, marry someone who is, or be appointed by the queen. The titles that can actually be purchased cost about £50,000. If you want to plant trees, there are better ways to donate your money.

I’d love to learn about the manchineel tree

Hey, let's talk about Hydra next time.

Is the edible one Fennel? I forgot

Right?

This is also edible. The toxin only works in sunlight/uv. You could drink it or bath in it as long as you are indoors. I would not recomend tho. So if you ever need to clear some and don't have full protection gear, just wait till night time and wash well afterwards.

Dogwood?

@@PurebloodKnight watch the video. Duh!

Didn't know folks in Poland got it too, I guess it must be more widespread than I thought. Sosnowsky's Hogweed is a colossal issue here in european Russia as well, there are a lot of people looking into some way to eradicate it or prevent it from spreading, because it has become quite ecologically dangerous.

@@smivan. most slavs literally got it from you russians, you should be ashamed over making this disaster of a plant spread back in ussr

@@smivan. It's been brought here from Russia during the Cold War because some morons thought that it'd be a great fodder plant xD

It's not like it will jump you. Just don't touch and you'll be fine.

@@frizzlethecat2084 I'm just saying, it's better to be safe than sorry with a plant that can make you blind.

@@frizzlethecat2084no because even coming near it is since there are a lot of seeds transported by the wind.

Chances are you were actually using cow parsnips! They're closely related to Giant Hogweed but less phototoxic. Where I live they're commonly used by indigenous cultures to build tools and musical instruments. Granted they still can be dangerous and give you blisters, so always be wary.

It was probably one of its relatives that you were dealing with then rather than Giant hogweed, after all aside from their size they are generally very similar looking plants. Make no mistake this plant is a monster if you encountered its sap you will know

@@Dragrath1 oh ok my mistake

You're thinking of cow parsley, looks almost identical but doesn't grow quite as big

Bamboo is a wonderful grass. Don't believe the doomsayers

Me, too! And youtube, please notify me when it's here. 👍

And chickens that we domesticated, they are connected.

Remember that we have have a native smaller variant thats not as toxic. Looks pretty much the same but is smaller.

If you still see them somewhere you should report that to the city or village, they will deal with it. But yeah first make sure it's actually that variety of the plant.

Yeah, i live in Germany too and what you commonly see is just the normal hogweed or "Bärenklau" not the giant variant. I dont think I have ever seen the giant sort tbh

They can be differentiated by the leaves. The H. mantegazzianum leaves come to many sharp points. The size of the blossoms is the real dead giveaway, though.

I live in Norway and I got 2nd degree burns from this plant when I was a kid. It was summer and I was shirtless, chopping down these plants, feeling like I was conquering a jungle. I remained shirtless in the sun, and in the evening when I had my shirt on a family friend lifted me up to ride on his back and I was in so much pain when he grabbed me, when I checked under my shirt my I had gotten quite red. When I woke up in the morning I was full of blemishes all over, from my torso to my legs. We went to the ER immediately and they wrapped me up like a mummy lol. Terrible summer, and I had scars for a long time, only ones that remain are very hard to see on my hip and ankle. Could’ve been blinded though so I was lucky in hindsight

wild parsnips also have very similar toxins, it could have been them.

The one that we have widespread here in Russia is actually a variant called Heracleum Sosnowsky (Борщевик Сосновского), it's a selected variant that is even more vigorous than the usual one.

Actually she mentioned briefly in the video.

Yup, sad they are shilling for them

The buggers grow rife round my end of Kent. Kersney Abbey's full of the evil things.

They're beautiful plants that have evolved over millions of years, they've developed that poison to stop themselves being eaten by ruminants and other creatures. They have their place in the Great Scheme 🌿

They gave their place alright, right in front of a flamethrower. 🤣

@@adriansennett2861 You're asleep pal, deaf dumb and blind to the world you live in, I'll say a prayer for you 🙏

Don't confuse common hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium, native to the UK, grows to 4, maybe 5 foot/~1.2 - 1.5 metres tall, can reach 6 foot/1.8m) in ideal conditions but I've never seen it anywhere near that height) with giant hogweed (introduced to the UK, starts at over 6'7/2 m and can grow to 16 or even 18'/5.5m). The sap of both, like most umbellifers (key phrase), is phototoxic but the giant obviously contains rather more than the native. The umbellifers are a huge group of plants that includes everything from hogweeds and cow parsley to the carrots and parsnips we pile on our plates. All these species I've named are phototoxic - that is, their sap contains ingredients that react with sunlight to cause irritation. Some people seem not to react at all and will happily munch down on H. mantegazzianum stalks in their salad, while others can't peel a carrot without wearing rubber gloves. Sensible precaution: if you're going to strim an area that you know or suspect could contain umbellifers, wear long trousers, roll your shirt sleeves down, do up the buttons and wear welding gauntlets instead of whatever you'd normally wear. Make sure you wear a visor and that it's in place the whole time. You'll look and feel like the Michelin man but I promise you it's better than the alternative. I discovered this the hard way

Great song!

Really? We have a ton of Queen Anne's lace.

What's the plant your editing for?

Botanical creature stirs! Seeking revenge...

That's the Sosnowsky Hogweed, it's extremely vicious, having a lot of it in western Russia too.

@@samarnadra Gotta love a plant who's entire reproductive strategy is to wait as long as possible, shove one's reproductive parts as high in the sky as possible (like a giant FU to the world), do the naughty, and then die.
