Safety Instructions
Because of its dangerous reputation, harvesting parts of the tree requires strict rituals. Spiritualists often approach from a distance, performing incantations and throwing a live rooster at the tree before attempting to take its bark or leaves.
The Fallen Leaf Myth: A defining legend states that its leaves never touch the ground; they are said to be caught by cobwebs woven at the top of the tree before they can land.
Mystical Powers: Folklore claims the tree “talks” and can send an emissary—often in the form of a fig—to assist those who seek its spiritual help. It is also believed that any living creature, including birds, that perches on or touches the tree ordinarily will die instantly.
Rare Locations: While rare, significant specimens are noted in Nigeria
