So I am a professional tree worker, and I saw in a tree trimmer group on Facebook, a post about the sandbox tree. Upon seeing the giant thorns on the trunk, I was curious about this abomination, so naturally I wanted to know more about it. (Honestly hoping I would find that they aren't indigenous to anywhere I work at) My research revealed a tree that grows in tropical regions, is covered by giant thorns, is toxic, AND grows a toxic fruit that is shaped similar to a small pumpkin. This is where things get even weirder. Inside these fruits are seeds, and although this isn't anything new, let's talk about how these seeds spread. Eventually the fruit gets super dry and hard, and then....it explodes.... I'm not sure if they will do it while still hanging or if they need a jolt from hitting the ground, but when they burst, these rather large toxic, rock hard seeds go flying in every direction at around 150 miles per hour, or 241ish kilometers per hour. This was right around the time we were learning about the coming "Wild" Update. And I got to thinking that this tree would fit right in, in the world of Minecraft. Thank you for your time and consideration.
