on October 5, 2022The Lowveld Candelabra is said to have the deadliest sap, a latex, of all the Euphorbias. People have experienced irritated skin and throat just standing near one of these trees which is seeping latex. Despite the poisonous properties of the plant, baboons and doves eat the flowers and the fruit. Nature always finds a way.
