When you cut into it, cyanide is released.

It poisons everything that goes near it, including you!

Scary stuff some of these plants.

I finally hired a landscaper to deal with my property.

I live in a semi-deciduous rain forest and all sorts of strange things grow here!

I'll let the new landscaper deal with it.

Its not a wise idea for me to do it anyway as I have an illness that is heat-activated. Because of this, I am wobbly and falling down when my body temperature goes up even one-half of a degree so I should just accept this and forget it.

I'll glad I found someone to deal with the whole lot. It is quite large and takes me several days to work on it whereas the landscaper is in and out in less than a half-hour or so.
