Don't touch it! There are a lot of these black "fruits" on the streets, and it's easy to get "infected"

When this season comes every year, many roads will be covered with black fruits. Pedestrians walk by and step on them, leaving small black spots on the ground with "puff puff".

Often, one will suddenly fall on your head and scare you. The vehicles parked under the tree will be "graffitied" and the juice will stick to the ground, leaving stains of varying depths.

Friends who go out should also be careful and try not to wear light-colored clothes to avoid receiving greetings from these "black bombs" when passing by the trees.

What is this?

Do these "black pearls" look familiar? They are the fruits of the camphor tree, namely camphor seeds . This season is when they fall naturally after they mature.

Camphor tree seeds are green at first and turn black when mature. Although camphor tree seeds will be dyed, they are non-toxic and non-corrosive , so citizens do not need to worry.

How long does seed drop usually last?

Many roads in Guangdong are lined with camphor trees. Camphor trees are magnificent and evergreen all year round. They are excellent tree species for roadside trees, garden shade trees, landscape forests, and soundproof forest belts. They have a very obvious effect on purifying urban air. They have a high survival rate and are easy to plant. Camphor tree seed dropping is a natural phenomenon that will not last too long and will generally improve in April .

Don't step on it! Don't step on it! Don't step on it!

If you see these fruits on the road, don't step on them! Don't step on them! Don't step on them! The juice sticks to the ground and is very difficult to clean.

Also be careful when parking and try to avoid camphor trees. The juice of camphor tree seeds is a weak acidic substance. If it is not removed for a long time, it will corrode the paint on the surface of the vehicle and must be cleaned in time.

How to remove the traces of camphor tree seeds?

1. Clothes

If your clothes are accidentally stained with camphor tree pulp while traveling, you can apply an appropriate amount of laundry detergent to the stain, let it sit for about 5 minutes before washing to achieve better cleaning results.

2. Vehicles

For the camphor tree pulp on the car body, you can cover it with a damp rag, soak it for a while and then rub it hard, or wipe it with a rag soaked in 45℃ warm water (add a little detergent).
