So apparently it wasn’t called a Sandbox Tree because it liked sandy climates… Desiree was mildly disappointed that her answer had been incorrect, but she didn’t dwell on it. She listened intently, both unnerved and intrigued by the tree the more she heard about it. Ooh, parts of it were used as herbal remedies. Okay, this just got interesting! She jotted down the tree information in her notes, paying special attention to its use as a dragon pox lotion. That knowledge could be useful when she became a healer!
Exploding fruit, caustic sap, prickly trunk… that tree had a lot of potentially dangerous parts! As she considered the question, her thoughts immediately turned to protective equipment. Maybe something that covered the whole body, like a magical version of a hazmat suit, would be useful in harvesting the tree… or hugging it. But that sounded similar to the other answers. Another thought occurred to her. Had anyone mentioned safety goggles yet? She didn't think so. Her hand shot up, and she said, “You wouldn’t want to get hit in the eye with fast-flying seeds, so it’s important to wear safety glasses.” Unless… An idea popped into her head, and she added as an afterthought, “Is there a charm to neutralize the explosion?”
