Just found out today that Tumbleweed is a living plant
I always though tumbleweed was just bits of brush or sticks that stuck together and rolled around in the wind. In popular pop culture, you always see them rolling around in cowboy movies.

Just surfing internet over something else and tumbleweed popped up in the search, I had a quick look and to my surprise, it turns out to be living plant that grows and seeds. From what I can gather, it's not even native to america unlike what western movies would tell you.

We don't have tumbleweed in the UK from what I know and you know, you learn something new everyday.

Question and answers like this is when I know the United States educational system is failing us. Absolutely pathetic.

Don't they have some pretty nasty thorns?

Mildly annoying thorns but nothing as bad as a cactus.

I am going to let you figure my response out for yourself. Really you need me to explain my answer to you???

There are probably more people from outside the US in this thread than ones from the US.

We have em in Australia. I've seen some as large as a small car. And yes before they tumble they are a green living plant. When they are ready to spread their seeds they dry out and break away from the root system. Being round, dense and light they tumble relatively easy In the wind. as they do the seeds are dispersed wherever the tumbleweed goes.

When you say it like that, it sounds like an allegory about sex offenders.

Im from the UK myself. Plants, tree and grass types are something kids are not taught this side of the pond. This subject is more a college or university type of study.

Do you guys ever have problems with those huge round cylindrical hay bales? I can see disastrous consequences if one of those broke loose.

I'm pretty sure there are many trivial things you don't know. I learned a lot outside of the educacional system. When you say the modern educational system is failing you couldn't be further from being wrong, we are smarter than ever were, a quick research will tell you that, but that's something you have yet to learn yourself.

If you could find within yourself not to act so sour over other peopl humbly sharing their discoveries regardless of whether you knew it or not, and, realize that you too has yet a lot ot learn you may find life a bit more enjoyable. But hey to each their own.

Not from my knowledge, but I have heard people being crushed or killed by these hay bales. And another thing, I have seen videos were tractors towing hay has caught fire and burning hay flying everywhere.
good you're discovering it for the first time but its not new to me.

ah, i dont think so. i think is pretty natural for a forum of gamers to never have experienced the wild, or the countryside. city bound all their lives, assuring themselves they know how things work.

and, when you're prepping for MCATS or exams to a program that isn't biology or plant related, how high is 'the life cycle of a tumble weed' on the syllabus? =p

well, most people here who didn't know what a tumbleweed is, won't have gone 'baling'

bales are shaped according to the machine. if you are making the big circular ones, you have a lot of land, and you bale that hay big because its easy to move that way. most farmers will bale it gigantic, and then just rip it down with pitchforks on the spot when its time to feed livestock. the nutrients are also good for the land as well.

most people only transport them in square form with smaller baling machines.

by the way, if you want to be the strongest you've ever been in your life, go to a farm and throw square bales into the back of a truck for 12 hours a day for a month, and you will beat every single person in an arm wrestle. for around 5 years lol.

Your statement literally makes no sense ever.

No one in Middle SChool is taught about tumbleweeds. LOL.
No one in High School, unless they learn Earth Science, or specifically anything about deserts.

It's simply not a thing people MAKE A huge deal over.

It's obnoxious...
That last video... wow. Thanks for posting these!
I saw on once that was as wide as my car. Rolled across the road in front of me. No idea they could get that big.

Tumble weed is a dead plant, when it is alive it is just a weed until it dies breaks off it's stem and tumbles in the wind.

Well tbf aren't a lot of plants like that? A lot of them have to rely on external factors if they want to spread their seeds far
