Question
Can "Pandanus amaryllifolius" become poisonous if grown near the drainages?
Answer
Dear nuhazanuz, good morning. I am unfamiliar with this plant. Pleaes remember that Go Botany is an online tool designed for wild plants of northeastern North America. Plants can accumulate environmental toxins if they grow near drainages that funnel runoff from industry, urban areas, and heavily used roads. While a drainage would not likely change a plant's acute toxicity to humans, it can become a source of toxins that contribute to the overall body burden a human must contend with.
