Does it face an early end, will it find a real friend, should it be called humanity? Will creation of man bring death by his hand or will life be his destiny?

Those gum balls have seeds in them that sprout very easily. I tell you, I'm always pulling up seedlings started from gum balls that fall from trees in my yard and flowerbeds.. It's no fun.

I just read that if you mulch with gum balls (from trees not chewling gum :>) it discourages slugs from going near your plants.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Now here are some good uses for those spikey balls. LOL Sweetgum balls are also said to be good fire starters that burn with a blue flame. Why spend all that money on fancy stuff to start your fire? Just use some of those sweetgum balls. Other ideas: Spray sweetgum balls with silver and gold paint and hang them on the Christmas tree. Place them in a jar and sell them on eBay as PORCUPINE EGGS.... - Donnalilacflower Thursday, February 05, 2009 8:49 PM Judy Re: Gum balls. I don't think I have ever seen one.
