Top 10 Most Deadliest Trees In The World

Strychnine Tree

It may come as a surprise to some to learn that Strychnine is not some mysterious manufactured lab chemical, but rather a nasty elixir of death produced from a tree, which not surprisingly is to be approached with great caution. Immediately recognizable by its Latin name and common name alike, the tree species Strychnos nux-vomica (or the Strychnine Tree) is a species native to India and Southeast Asia that has become notorious as a deadly tree. The tree is the very source of the deadly poison strychnine with a history of wide use on animals deemed to be pests and sometimes, on humans who get in the way of someone malevolent and out for chemical based means of murder.
