New to me

[Jeff]

What is it?

 

 

[WDH]

I abstain for the greater prosperity of tree ID  ;D. 

[Ljohnsaw]

Hmmm, I wouldn't touch it until I knew it wasn't contagious! :D

[brendonv]

Prickly ash?

[rjwoelk]

Tree warts. ;D

[Roxie]

What in the world?   :D  If it was by the ocean, I'd swear those are barnacles. 

[Jeff]

Brendon got it.  A toothache tree. Or Southern Prickly Ash.

Some unmentioned character coerced me into chewing a small sliver of bark.

Jeff
Looks like you cut a piece of bark and put in your mouth. Did it numb!

[Jeff]

Oh, way more than numb. :D

[Roxie]

Jeff, you remind me of that movie where the kid stuck his tongue on the frozen pole after a triple dog dare ya!   :D :D

[elk42]

 :D :D :D :D :D :D

[mesquite buckeye]

Looks like it should be elephant and/or deer rub resistant. ;D 8) 8) 8)

[Dodgy Loner]

Lots of prickly-ash (I always called it Hercules-club) in certain parts of the world ;D

I rather enjoy the sensation of chewing it. Tastes disgusting, but the sensation is way better than chewing a green persimmon :D

The only way to get the taste of green persimmon out of your mouth is a ripe persimmon......sometimes it's a long wait.I grew up in Southern Illinois and we had lots of persimmon.
