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.

[@PsychoSavager289]

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.

In Russia we have a variant of this one called "Heracleum Sosnowsky", which is an even more vigorous version of this incredibly nasty plant. Initially developed in middle USSR as a mass-produced feed plant for lifestock, it has now become an infamous weed plant, as it grows out of control at incredible speeds, pushes out most other plants and as such is a serious problem in many regions. And of course, the horrific phototoxic properties of it's siblings are perfectly intact.

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

[@kellydalstok8900]

There were lots of them near where I live. The parks department of my municipality started to dead head all hogweed plants last year and far fewer plants came up this year. Unfortunately the neighbouring municipalities haven’t taken any measures to try to weed out this horrible plant yet. Their spread started with a handful of people with an alternative lifestyle who preferred “wild” gardens, i.e. who weren’t prepared to put any work into keeping their weeds in check. Hogweed spreads really fast along roads, because verges aren’t mowed as intensively as they used to be.

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

I'm surprised russia wasn't mentioned, it's just as invasive and spread here as anywhere else. I remember several patches on my way to school, and one that was trying to grow at the edge of our land plot, my dad was killing it several years in a row and I'm not sure if it's truly gone

[@smivan.]

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.

In recent months several people have been hospitalized because their phone's plant identification apps said poison hemlock or giant hogweed was yarrow or wild parsnips or wild carrots or something related. It has happened due to the recent surge in popularity of foraging groups on Facebook because people are broke after years of a pandemic. Several KZbinrs and news agencies have made videos about this recently. One tried several apps and one of the apps said hogweed was something edible and pulled up a picture of someone's hand touching its leaves. He showed it in his video and kinda freaked out about it saying if you did what was pictured you would be sorry! All I can say is thanks for making this video. I am working on editing one about a related dangerous plant and why you shouldn't follow a certain site's advice about how to forage for it.

I tried to look up the hardest woods according to climate zone/continent, but I didn't get far. It seems that data mostly exists for woods that are used commercially. Wood that grows too slowly doesn't have the size for cutting timber out of it, or simply being too difficult to work with doesn't seem to get recorded... However, in the past, we also used other woods, for instance, to make mallets, batons, walking canes, wooden gears, etc.
