Have you a common and Latin name for your Stinking Nettle tree? Sounds
interesting.....


How's it react to those that are 'insensitive'?

Interesting - Virginia Creeper is a much valued decorative plant here  
and in the UK. Meanwhile, Lantana (which someone keeps posting here  
with butterflies on it) is a bloody pest in sub-tropical Eastern  
Australia.
There's a 'stinging nettle' tree in our rainforests that makes poison  
ivy look like a wimp. Stay out of the woods - they bite.
