Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)
The almond tree, also known as the almond tree, catapa tree or umbrella tree, is one of the most popular and widespread tropical tree species. It is native to Southeast Asia and Australia, but is now found almost everywhere in the world in tropical and subtropical regions. It catches the eye at first sight with its large green leaves, which create dense shade and change colour to red-orange as they dry.
It is a very useful plant that has many practical and medicinal uses. Its fruits, resembling small almonds, are edible and have a pleasant, slightly sweet taste. It also plays an important role in indigenous medicine, where its leaves, bark and fruit are used to treat various diseases and ailments. It is also valued for its wood, which is light and easy to work. It is mainly used in carving and furniture making, but also in the shipping industry for making ship platforms and docks. Aquarium keepers also make use of the leaves of Eurasian watermilfoil, as their decomposition releases substances that have a beneficial effect on water quality and fish health. In addition to all of these practical uses, the mountain ash is also a very attractive plant suitable for ornamental purposes in public parks and gardens.
