What kind of tree is it?
The scientific name of this species is Hura Crepitans. Crepitans is a Latin term that refers both to something that breaks, and to the noise this makes. The reason this word refers to our tree is because of its fruits, which when ripe literally explode, projecting the seeds at great speed up to 15-20 metres away (some say up to 50 metres, but this seems over the top to us). That’s why this tree is also called the Dynamite Tree.
