15 Strange Trees You Didn’t Know Existed

[@shookedsincebirth1915]

I Visited Japan And Went Into The Wisteria Tunnel, IT WAS SOOO BEAUTIFULL, Ah, very relaxing indeed and Literally Japan has so many beautiful trees

[@richardmatta58]

I have several of these in my backyard. Glad to know they actually exist

[@julia_pitonyak]

can i ask where you live?

[@richardmatta58]

I have no recollection of what this was referring to - either the Japanese maple or the Wisteria as I have both. I live in Maryland in the US @@julia_pitonyak

The fruit of cashew tree is actually the nut-shaped part attached to the juicy portion. Its rind is inedible; it has an acrid, caustic sap that can cause mild skin burns. The edible kernel (the cashew nut) is extracted by roasting the whole nut and removing the outer rind. The colorful, juicy part is enlarged flower stalk (false fruit), but when ripe, it is not only edible but sweet and delicious--although having a bit of astringency. A type of fermented drink is also made from the juice. It is NOT 'highly poisonous' as the video claims!

[@Th3Myst1cPug]

I weirdly enjoyed this tree video. Going to go watch nature documentaries now, it's just put me in that mood. :/

[@ame8710]

S Bussue yeah, we have it in Malaysia too, and we eat it.

[@John-lc]

he also mentioned that it's from brasil, we have many different kinds in central America

[@devonoved7]

Yes it has a slight aftertaste..

[@user-np2zv4er5n]

Thank you for posting this. The trees are amazing.

[@dancardel7160]

The tree species known only as Pennantia baylisiana could be the rarest plant on Earth. In fact, the Guinness Book of World Records once called it that. Just a single tree exists in the wild, on one of the Three Kings Islands off the coast of New Zealand, where it has sat, alone, since 1945. It didn't used to be so solitary, but humans introduced goats to the island, which ate every other member of its species. Over the last few decades, scientists have tried to create more P. baylisiana trees, but aside from getting cuttings to grow, simple biology got in the way: The tree was thought to be female, and it appeared to need a male to properly generate fruit and seeds. While preparing a recovery plan for the species in the early 1990s, Peter de Lange, a scientist with the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DoC), found several intriguing pieces of information. First, gardeners on the New Zealand mainland had several P. baylisiana seedlings (all cloned from cuttings of the original plant), which proved to be pure examples of the species, not hybrids of other Pennantia species as had originally been thought. Second, one of the seedlings had actually produced fruit following manual pollination. This led de Lange to conclude that the wild tree might not truly be female after all. Additionally, similar research published around the same time suggested that the tree was female but appeared to also bear a low level of male-like qualities that would allow it to pollinate itself. Since then, hundreds of P. baylisiana seedlings have been sold by mainland nurseries, but scientists delayed taking trees or seeds back to Three Kings Islands for fear of introducing diseases or fungal pathogens that could harm the healthy wild tree. But this year, de Lange and his team have returned to Three Kings Islands with the intention of planting 1,600 P. baylisiana seeds. The seeds, says de Lange, have been carefully prepared to eliminate any possibility of disease. "We removed the flesh, air-dried the seeds and then washed them in 10 percent hypochlorite and then 70 percent ethanol in a lamina flow hood. We found the seeds germinated fine with this treatment, and preliminary screening showed no evidence of virus or other diseases." And so P. baylisiana seeds are returning to their native land, and it is hoped that new trees will soon follow. The seeds are expected to take six to 10 years to grow large enough to themselves start flowering. The project will continue until they have 500 viable adult trees. De Lange says this stage is exciting, but there is still risk. "Of course this action does not address the fact that all seedlings are derived from one tree," he says, "so the species is severely bottlenecked," meaning it lacks the genetic diversity that could protect it in the long run from diseases and other factors. "But we have the knowledge that the species is a polyploid [has extra chromosomes], so hopefully it has plenty of resilience." Meanwhile, de Lange reports that his colleagues have not been idle on the island. Janeen Collings, a botanist with the DoC, has planted several cuttings near the original tree, several of which have grown and, with her help, produced fruit. "While birds probably took most mature fruit, some she managed to get and sow in the field," de Lange says. Although the seedlings grew, they unfortunately died within a year. "Although this sounds unpromising, when you consider the islands are virtually inaccessible and it's expensive to get there, and to do this type of work you need to visit three to four times a year, her work is spectacular to say the least," de Lange says.

Not sure where your sources come from, but the tree with the fruit that holds the cashew seed is not toxic. In my country of Panama we call the fruit Marañon adn there's different types and colors. Most types we can eat and we even make juice out of it. I've never heard of any being toxic whatsoever.

[@ahabtheplant]

Has anyone thought about cloning that last lonely tree? With a little nudge one of the clones could turn out male and be mated with a female clone. It's not the same, but it won't die out completely.

[@andydrew777]

ahabtheplant you could "clone" it but the clippings would never become female since they are literally the same tree DNA wise. You could just keep clipping and rooting the last one so it would theoretically never be extinct.

Cashew is no poisonous! I was born and live in northeast Brazil my whole life. I have a cashew tree in my backyard. The fruit is not poisonous! You can eat it raw, cooked, juices, in candies, tec. It is the nut that is poisonous, to eat it you have to cook it!

[@Meganopteryx]

They show the Century Tree at Texas A&M! Cool :)

[@juliebrady24]

Actually.... the ripe cashew fruit is not at all poisonous and the cashew seed IS poisonous, until the outer membrane and waxy oil are cleaned and removef from the nut!

[@stephaniepretty]

[@rverro8478]

And that's why you don't see cashew oil on the groceries shelves.

[@ladyshyyebryant2333]

THANK YOU,I'm not the only one to Know that bit of info was incorrect! I was told cashews were native to Cuba. A neighbor 6 blocks away has a tree growing in his yard and to actually See👀 the cashews growing on the tree was a Real treat. I live in Miami,Florida. I watched a show on T.V. about how nuts are Grown,harvested,and packaged and This is how "I" knew about what part was Poisonous. 😉☺

[@BelarminodeAthayde1966]

Check your information, Cashew fruit is not toxic.

[@crystalyzd1]

Belarmino de Athayde you are right..the cashew fruit isn't toxic it's edible and yummy, it's the cashew nut or droop that is toxic and has to be treated before it goes to the shops as the nut we all know and love to eat.

[@joannebernard593]

The Cashew tree fruit I ate as a child, as most do and roasted nuts, still alive ..being poisonous is quite wrong. best eaten fully ripe.

[@markolerinc2978]

I actually know every tree from this video.But now I'm gonna tell you about a tree you didn't know: Mahalucka-Latin(Maykika). It's a tree that grows under ground,their population is unknown,but scientests guess that their are about 76 in the whole world,and they grow under ground because of the massive radio-activity from the pase years.

[@paranoiarpincess]

I don't understand why no one ever talks about the Australian stinging tree...

[@christiewilley7677]

The Wisteria Tree is beautiful, the Japanese Maple Tree is exquisite, the Angel Oak Trees are so Graceful but some look weird with the moss on them almost eerie, the Bottle Tree is ugly guess the poison is why it grows like that, the Silk Cotton tree is neat but weird, the Juniper Tree is odd, never knew Cashews grew on Cashew Trees, love the looks of the Wollemi Pine Tree neat they date back so far. The Dragon Blood Tree is cool as well

[@klmeyer9907]

I’ve been to see the angel oak in Charleston I lived near it while recovering from a major surgery where only the drs at MUSC’s digestive disease center could & did save my life. This tree is worth visiting & though hard to find is so amazing you should pack a picnic lunch and take a trip to see it it’s free to visit but please make a small donation or visit the small gift shop and buy a souvenir to help the parks service to continue to keep it he@lthy and growing. Just stop by any visitors center while in the area and ask for directions to see the “Angel Oak” as it’s the largest oak in the area. It is so cool under its canopy the perfect spot to get out of the heat and enjoy nature!

The fruit the cashew is from is NOT TOXIC AT ALL. Those grow in my country and we call them marañones. They are a tangy, juicy fruit with a somewhat stringy texture. Tougher than a mango and less well liked, and have a very distinctive sweet smell. The fruit can be eaten straight from the tree, boiled with sugar to make a sugary treat or sliced and served with water as a beverage.

Fact check: Cashew fruit are not poisonous. They are in fact seen as more delicious and valuable where they are grown in India. The nut itself has the same chemical compound as poison oak and poison ivy, and can cause the same allergic reactions. This poison is removed from the nuts when they are steamed.

The cashew fruit is one of my favorite fruits!!! There are sold in the markets here in Nigeria. But the ones plucked by self are much better bcos it's very tender.
