Hura crepitans, the sandbox tree,[2] also known as possumwood, monkey no-climb, assacu (from Tupi asaku) and jabillo,[3] is an evergreen tree in the family Euphorbiaceae, native to tropical regions of North and South America including the Amazon rainforest. It is also present in parts of Tanzania, where it is considered an invasive species.[4] Because its fruits explode when ripe, it has also received the colloquial nickname the dynamite tree.[5][6]
