Got something to discuss?
It’s says they aren’t found in Louisiana but yet I have 5 HUGE ones in my field & loads all around the back 100 acres. They smell horrible when rotting also.
Have you got a firm ID? It’s easy enough to add Louisiana as a region but we don’t want to take that step unless it’s 99% sure. Plus it isn’t known to grow in any spot that is even close to where you are, so that would be a pretty big change! Have you posted any photos for public review, or gotten any specimens tested?
