It's crazy how much one can learn just by watching a short 5 minute video!! My dad sent me this video since it has mentions to treating ADHD and gastrointestinal issues, and I've got to say I really appreciate you making this video. I also learned a lot of new vocabulary about plants and this is quite interesting. I'm definitely having some of the local arabic gum in my kitchen now. Thanks from Sudan.

Thanks for sharing! The Maasai in Kenya and Tanzania use this tree. They use the bark of big trees to treat stomach issues, especially in children. I have had the honor to try it and it is realy tasty when you make a tea out of the bark.

What a cool series. I’ve been watching the acacias bloom in Kenya where I’ve spent most of this year, so my research led me here. The melatonin I buy in the US has acacia gum as an ingredient and its cool for this Alaskan to see it right on the tree. Thanks!

Nice, thanks for sharing. Outside of Africa, Alaska has definitely been the wildest, most amazing place I've ever visited. So it's hugely gratifying to get comments in from an Alaskan in Kenya. Thank you!!

Very interesting! In Durban over recent decades I’ve seen more and more of these trees planted. I have heard it has a short lifespan. Is there a commercial medicine/supplement out there for ADHD containing the catecholamines?

The village weaver bird seems to build many nests on the fever tree I saw one that my brother had in his garden in Zambia I'm also planting one in harare hopefully the village weavers will nest on it

Yes, weavers go crazy about fever trees. I saw a friend the other day who was threatening to cut his fever tree down because the nesting weavers were making so much noise right outside his bedroom window! I think I convinced him to keep the tree, thankfully!

Hi! I met you here because I was looking for some information about this gorgeous tree. I went to South Africa this month and I saw this wonderful tree there. I wish I could have one seed ...but I've never seen it here in Brazil. 😥🇧🇷I found out that all the plants that I love were there...

Awesome video, your research and knowledge keeps me coming back for more, but the pronunciation of the 3 photochemicals are not correct. They all have a silent 'h' so we say 'k' and not "ch'. Us South Africans tend to have poor pronunciation and don't bother follow phonetic etymology. In a scientific or horticultural context its probably important 😂
@AfricanPlantHunter
@AfricanPlantHunter Жыл бұрын
Thanks for this. Glad you're enjoying the videos, and thanks for the comment! I've been in a lot of debates about pronunciation of scientific names based on Latin or Greek origins. I used to be quite pernickety about it, and thought anyone who pronounced things differently to me was wrong. But then I realised none of us can ever really know how things were pronounced in ancient Greece or Rome. And looking at how varied our pronunciations are for simple sounds in modern English, it's not really surprising that we have hugely varied interpretations of scientific terms based on ancient Latin. These days I'm way more chilled about it. I pronounce "fungi" as "funghee". Americas pronounce it as "funjeye". Others say "fungheye". Who's to say what's right and wrong?!

Acacia was pretty revered in the old world, from Egypt through to the nomadic Hebrew culture (exodus 35;24) because it contains DMT. Try brewing it with Syrian rue. Enjoy exploring space.
