ARCADIA TREES CAN WARN EACH OTHER OF DANGER

Arcadia trees have a unique defense system...When animals like antelopes start to gobble up its leaves, the tree increases tannin production to levels that are toxic to animals....
Arcadia trees nibbled by antelope produce leaf tannin in quantities lethal to the browsers, and emit ethylene into the air which can travel up to 50 yards...
The ethylene warns other trees of the impending danger, which then step up their own production of leaf tannin within just five to ten minutes.
