  1. I can thank CGP Grey for bringing the plant to my attention, but this video certainly adds a lot more context to the topic 🤔 . (I didn't know they are partially edible for instance, though as Stinging Nettles are too [including with butter] it makes sense) I still suspect though that Tumble's have untapped potential. They are after all: • Capable of growing almost anywhere, including in poor soils. • They reproduce assexually, without pollination. • Can grow especially large. • Are Self Drying. • Are exceptionally Flammable. • Burns at a notably high temperature. • Are quite sticky / sappy. If grown on purpose in controlled conditions, it strikes me the Tumbles would be a near-perpetual fuel source for Power Stations, especially if [carefully] processed into a more managable form. It certainly merits further study, as it could turn a worthless weed that costs the nation a vast amount in agrarian & domestic damage, into if anything a national asset that keeps the lights on 🤔 . #DomesticateTheTumbles
