at first they thought it was a weed until it started looking more like a tree. the trunk looks kinda bamboo-ish. does anybody know what it's called & what class of plant it is? is it poisonous? it looks pretty exotic. they said it grew *extremely* fast! one of his co-workers wants to transplant it to their own backyard as a keeper.

CASTOR BEAN, Rininus communis is very poisonous, the seeds produce ricin. Remember when the so called terrorists mailed anthrax, well this was the other stuff being mailed. Oddly the seeds also produce Castor oil, brake fluid and other industrial lubricants. I've been growing them for years and they are one of my favorite plants. Mine grow to fifteen feet in North Dakotas short growing season. No need to dig it up they don't transplant well and are easy and fast from seed.

It could be the Castor Oil plant (No relation to the medicine), from the photos. Does it develope spikey looking, redish round pods with one or two large seeds in it? If so be aware that if it is this plant ALL parts are poisionous, and could be fatal to pets and children who eat them. I could be wrong as there are no sign of the pods on the photos, but leaves and stems are the same in appearance. Hope this helps. B

you have no longer suggested that the vine is perfumed so does no longer say that it truly is a species of Jasmine, asJasmine is somewhat know for its solid candy fragrance and has small purple buds fading by using fact the flower opens, additionally it doesnt have a yellow centre. I If there's no fragrance then its greater probable to be considered one of those Solium jasminoides, as you say it has a yellow centre its probable Solium jasminoides" album". i might advise you to take a specimen of the plant on your backyard Centre, somebody there'll be waiting to become attentive to it for you . there's a species of Clematis additionally it is evergreen, yet very in assessment to it truly is that as its plant life are lots greater effective than one 1cm and greater petals

I am not shure but i have something like that growing in my back yard.
I hate it.
It grows every where and if you cut it and get its sap on the scratch it plisters up verey bad leaving scars.
When I cut it it was very easy. and the smell from it was bad.
I would consider it poisonous.
I hope you have something else.
