Eagerly awaiting your photo, Hamza.

Salams!

Sorry guys morocco a wifi sucks

Firesticks(Euphorbia tircuali)?

Wow I took a cutting from this with my hands :/ kinda forgot how poisonous this can be lucky I never got any of the milky sap on me :/ and I washed my hands after

Just don't touch your eyes (even if you washed your hands).

Are there different size varieties of this species? Usually the Euphorbia tirucalli I see in local retail stores have yellow and red colors and are smaller. I rarely see the plain green ones that are bigger.

I heard applying a wet towel to the wounds helps the sap congeal so the sap doesn't run as much.

I had no idea that Euphorbia tirucalli could grow that large!

Poly - I haven't used a towel, but I always have a hose, spray bottle or bucket of water to pour when I am trimming Euphorbia. You are right, it works quite well. And BTW, the latex sap will permanently stain clothes. My silly neighbor tried to steal a piece of a Euphorbia plant by sticking it into his pocket. Well he got away with the piece of the plant, but ruined his clothes! LOL

Hamza - sorry to be off topic. Where in Morocco? My husband lived in Mohammedia as a child. Actually, it was called Fedala in '58-'60 when he was there. We have always wanted to return for a visit.

I had a feeling it was some giantized species.

I thought it was the plain species. I will never grow this plant(again) its the major reason I wear glasses!!!!beware!

It's Africa, the heat and moisture levels make everything bigger than usual lol.

wow, Rhamel, I'm glad you're okay now!

Thanks, grew it when I was 11, was taking cuttings and later rubbed my eyes, BAM! intense eye pain! Rushed to hospital, blinded in one eye for days. To this very day I have magnifying reading glasses!! I hate that plant!!

Sorry, but I will not blame the plant. Knowledge is power.

Christopher

Good point, I was 11 at the time, lol. Just being dramatic I don't hate any plant

The tree was very very very large,

crenda im in Marrakech Its lovely here and we'll worth a visit if u ever get the chance, speaking Arabic or French will help u out a lot but lots of people speak English :) this is my third arab country, I've been Egypt, Lebanon and now Morocco and I defo think Morocco is the best :) however non Muslims can't go inside mosques here and I have no clue why so I have to explain to everyone how me and my friend who is an Indian muslim are muslim and I'm white because I'm from Bosnia xD

Dobar dan! Another coincidence. My husband worked in Bosnia for over a year. Our son and I spent 6 weeks there with him. We are still in touch with our friends in Sarajevo and Banja Luka.

And our parrot's name is Pivo. LOL

Crenda - Pivo??? lol, that's a beer where I come from...Rina

Yes, Rina! The same in Serbo-Croat! LOL

We have joked that Černé George Pivo, made by the Banja Luka Brewery probably went out of business after Charlie left Bosnia. We did, after all, try our best to patronize the locals!

At least your name is Hamza, when they see your name, they can't say you're not allowed, lol.

Crenda, lol...are you/Charlie missing the brew?
