Ever cut into a Century Plant to trim it? The juice burns like fire on your skin, will leave a red welt and rust your knife or shears..............

Maybe you ought to go to the link and READ the information for yourself now that I provided the link.

Click on the link? Insanity! People don't click on links around here! Why, they'd actually have to READ beyond what's been posted! Good heavens, man!

Looks like wild cow parsnip, and if it is, beware. Juice is higly caustic, and causes burns and blisters. If it’s not WCP, whew!

I have a small lake and wildlife area. Crossbow herbicide has been a Godsend for dealing with poison ivy, sumac, multiform rose and other invasive plants. Just looked and it kills this stuff also. Doesn’t hurt surrounding grass. Rule of thumb is it kills woody stemmed plants only.

I’ve always wondered if I could grow kudzu in a big pot. If it grows fast enough in those circumstances, it might make a nice summer shade vine for a balcony - in Northern places where there’s no chance of it achieving liberty ;-)

Lived in Fla since 1969, never seen or heard of anything like that.

You Yankees can keep that up there thanks. ;)

What’s scary is how much it looks like Aloe, which is used to soothe burns...
