On a somewhat related note, grown olive trees look like they are from lord of the rings.
OK, I’ll be the one to ask. What is it?
The actual plant in the picture is poison oak.
Thanks, felt like I was taking crazy pills. Leaves of three, let it be!
Leaves of four, eat some more!
spoiler
Edit: I oopsed.
This isn’t the same plant as the op. Op is poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum).
Oops mb.
TIL about this plant. Holy moly.
We have nettles native to where I live but those are like a couple of/a few hours of pain. And the pain is just mildly intense itching. Enough to make a child cry, kind of.
But this… 😳
Is that the one that makes people kill themselves
Yeah, the one in the image here. Sounds absolutely brutal when you look it up.
I looked it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrocnide_moroides
Wow, the Wikipedia article definitely is worth a read! This thing is over the top bad :O
(But, as someone pointed out, this clearly isn’t the species in the OP, which has divided leaves with three leaflets.)
I need my eyes checked lmao.
I’ve heard it makes a good toilet paper substitute
Oof. You’re next level evil. :-D
I’m happy to know it is only found up north.
And i thought that’s an olive branch.
Shiny!
