  • The Devil in the Woods by Susan Camp There Are a Lot of Plants in the Woods That Can Hurt You. a Holly Leaf Is a Terrible Thing
    The Devil in the Woods By Susan Camp There are a lot of plants in the woods that can hurt you. A holly leaf is a terrible thing to get stuck under your fingernail or in the side of your foot when you are wearing flip-flops— not that you should be wearing flip-flops in the woods. You can get tangled up in a patch of greenbrier or blackberry and swear you will never escape. Then there is the hazard of poison ivy and the sinking feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you realize you are standing in the middle of a patch of “leaves of three.” Nothing tops the pain of walking into the trunk of an Aralia spinosa, aptly known as Devil’s Walkingstick or Hercules’ Club. This small, deciduous shrub or tree is pure evil, its trunk peppered with dagger-sharp spines. Even the small leaf stems and midribs are covered with prickles when they mature. I admit that we used to cut some of them down until we learned that birds love to eat the berries that ripen in the fall. Aralia spinosa is a member of the ginseng family and is native to the southeastern United States, ranging naturally from southern New York to Florida and west to Ohio, Illinois, and as far west as Texas in USDA Hardiness Zones 4 through 9. Devil’s Walkingstick prefers average soils of medium moisture, but will tolerate clayey and rocky soils. It can survive urban pollution and is unaffected by the chemical juglone produced by black walnut trees.
