Why the hell do these exist...
A tree that produces fist sized poison nut that if your not careful it can KO you coconut style...
You cant get rid of it or burn it, or else you expose yourself to the juglone in the bark which even in small doses will have the same lethality as cyanide...
Overall crap tree

I planted 100 of those buggers in my yard when I was a kid. Thanks Dad. Only about 50 made it. You can get 5 to 10 grand for a mature tree. Only 50 more years to go till they're mature. Retirement fund I guess.
