The creepiest tree chain

in nature •  7 years ago 

The creepiest tree that I know of bleeds. It doesn't just ooze out sap, but oozes out blood red sap.

The tree is Pterocarpus angolensis a.k.a bloodwood teak.

When cut, the tree releases a sap that closely resembles blood.

The wood is valued by many woodworkers for its properties and coloration. Here is a woodwork made of this teak.

Do you know of any tree that's as weird as this? Tell me about it!
