Hura crepitans

Sandbox Tree

Origin to be documented

Hura crepitans, known by the common names sandbox tree, possumwood, monkey no-climb, assacu (from Tupi asaku), and jabillo, is a species of evergreen tree in the family Euphorbiaceae, native to tropical regions of North and South America including the Amazon rainforest. It is naturalized in parts of Africa with sufficient rainfall. It is also present in parts of Tanzania, where it is considered an invasive species. Because its fruit explodes when ripe, it has also received the colloquial nickname "dynamite tree".
