Hippomane mancinella

A new tree for me, it has esters in it that are so strong that you can get blisters by standing under it in the rain!

I take it it is not a highly prized ornamental, but could be a good security screen

Nasty sounding tree, how did you come across this plant?

Small wonder they are endangered, I suspect that everybody has been chopping them down.

Not physically, looking for info on one thing lead me down a trail unrelated to the work I was doing. Had to take .75 hr of my billable for that
