hi charlie here where would we be
without trees trees produce oxygen that
gives the planet life on the other hand
though these trees will take your life
if you ever see these trees out in the
wild then stay well away just brushing
past one or standing near to one could
be enough to end your life from trees
with exploding fruit to a tree with sap
so corrosive it can melt metal let's get
into it
ghost tree
the ghost trees of pakistan are a very
mysterious phenomena you may wonder what
the ghostly white coverings on these
trees actually are well there are
actually millions of very thick spider
webs when there is flooding in the local
areas these spiders climb up these trees
to get away from the water because they
have nowhere else to go they make all of
their webs in the trees and this totally
covers the trees in thick webs the
monsoon season can last for months in
pakistan so that's why these spiders
live and breed inside these trees for a
long period of time normally their webs
would be spread out over a large area as
spiders move quite a lot but because
they're stuck in these trees for months
on end the webs really build up it is
rather beautiful and elegant in a way
but you would really not want to get
caught in one of these webs in 2012
there were lots of spider trees near the
big city of karachi you may think that
locals would be horrified with these
spider trees being so nearby but they
actually had a positive effect and saved
many lives that's because thousands of
the deadly mosquitoes that normally
invade the village got stuck in the
spider's webs i guess you always have to
look on the bright side
sandbox tree
you don't have to be a tree expert to
know that you should stay well away from
this tree that's because it's covered in
large spikes it doesn't matter if you're
a human or an animal if you go too near
to this tree then your life will be over
this tree is nicknamed the monkey no
climb that's because monkeys are unable
to climb up the spikes and if they tried
to then they would not be alive for very
long the sandbox tree can be found in
tropical regions of the americas and has
also been found in african countries
such as tanzania but it's not just the
spikes that make this tree so dangerous
the fruits on this tree are literally
explosive that's right when this tree's
fruit gets ripe it explodes this can
catapult its seed all around these seeds
have been known to fly more than 330
feet from the tree this is enough to
seriously injure any human or animal
who's nearby some locals to these trees
nicknamed them the dynamite tree for
this reason this tree really is a double
threat not only does it have sharp
spikes but it also has explosive fruit
manchineel tree
if you ever see a tree with this red
line around it then stay well away
that's because it's a warning that it's
a manchineel tree this is the most toxic
and poisonous tree on the planet this
tree produces a very toxic fruit every
part of this tree can kill you the
branches leaves and fruit are all
incredibly dangerous every part of the
tree contains a milky white sap this is
incredibly corrosive to human skin you
can expect it to melt your skin within
seconds this sap can even dissolve metal
some have even made the mistake of
eating the fruit from these trees and so
far no one who's done this has lived to
tell the tale not only does it poison
you but it also closes your airways it
will stop you from breathing within
minutes you should not even stand
underneath this tree when it's raining
that's because the sap will mix with the
rain water and land on you this will
poison anyone who stands underneath it
and also possibly be corrosive to your
skin this tree is found in southern
north america central america and the
caribbean in spanish this tree is known
as abul de muerta that means the tree of
death thankfully if these trees are
anywhere near people they have a red
ring around them that is a warning that
you should stay well away from these
trees if a leaf even blew off this tree
and landed on your skin then it could be
enough to end your life
shipworm tree
these things look like something from a
hp lovecraft novel but they actually
exist in real life shipworm trees are
trees which contain shipworms these are
one of the scariest creatures in the
world they're not actually worms but
clams they burrow into underwater trees
if you ever see a tree or piece of wood
underwater then stay well away that's
because they could be infested with
shipworms if you go too near then these
could burrow out of the tree and into
your arms or legs instead i can't think
of anything more gruesome than that
these shipworms eat things very quickly
they are known to totally consume entire
sunken ships and that's why they've been
dubbed the termites of the sea

bloodwood tree
you may think trees are not able to
bleed but you'd be wrong cut into one of
these trees and red sap will come out of
it this looks amazing but scary at the
same time the bloodwood tree can be
found in southern africa if a branch has
ever cut off one of these trees then
this red sap will ooze out but amazingly
this works to repair the tree the sap
will quickly harden and repair the tree
in some african countries the sap from
this tree is used as a natural medicine
murda tree
this tree is called the sarbera odola
but it's better known as the murder tree
that's because this tree could be the
perfect murder weapon the tree has taken
many lives in india but they've all been
incredibly convenient and hard to detect
the tree nor its fruit is actually
poisonous but the seeds within its fruit
are sometimes people eat the sarbera
odolam's fruit this is edible and safe
but what they did not realize was how
deadly the seeds are these seeds contain
a toxic chemical known as cerberine
cerberin slows your heart rate right
down this means that blood stops pumping
inside you and you eventually pass away
but it's very hard for any coroner to
detect how this happened you would need
a great detective to work out if someone
passed away from one of these tree seeds
the seeds are also so small they're
practically invisible this is a good
lesson to not eat any mysterious fruit
you see from odd trees it could end up
being your last meal
zombie tree
the angels trumpet is also known as the
zombie tree it is very poisonous to both
humans and animals and it can turn you
into a zombie it basically puts you into
a paralyzed state if you go too near to
it the tree is incredibly toxic one tick
tock user accidentally smelt a flower
from this tree and before long they had
gone into a zombie-like trance they also
experienced hallucinations they were
only near the tree for seconds so
thankfully they were okay but every part
of this tree is poisonous too much
exposure to it can lead to muscle
weakness convulsions paralysis memory
loss and even death this tree may be
called the angel's trumpet after all it
can literally turn a human into a zombie
streetchnein3
this tree is also known as the poison
nut tree it is native to india and has
incredibly poisonous seeds they are
hairy round and very flat fifteen
percent of them are made of streetchni
this is a chemical which is often used
in rat poison however some make the
mistake of eating these the trees bark
and leaves also contain poisonous
compounds but most of the people who
pass away from this tree don't even
touch it they simply breathe nearby and
inhale the very toxic chemicals i think
i'll be holding my breath next time i go
to any forest
bunia pine
bunia pine trees may look amazing but if
you ever see one then you should run
away fast these trees can be over 50
meters tall but you should also stay
around 50 meters away from them its
branches are covered with very sharp
spikes the bunia pine also develops
gigantic spiky cones these can weigh
more than 10 kilograms when they get too
heavy they fall off the big trees and on
to anyone who's standing below these
