Hercules Club
![Mounted on top of the wooden rail along the Nature Trail boardwalk is a horizontal panel with a touchable bronze model. On the left and right sides of the panel, black text in English and Spanish reads: Hercules Club. Also known as the toothache tree, its bitter bark is a home remedy for toothache. In fact, all of its plant parts—seed, fruit, bark, and root—are useful. Seeds can be used like pepper and a tonic from the fruit can ease a stomach ache. End of Text In the center between the 2 columns of text, a bronze 4-inch square. On it is a touchable model of the Hercules Club and raised letters in English, Spanish, and Braille. The tree has a spiky trunk, while its smooth dark green leaves extend from a central stem. Directly in front of the panel, the maritime forest includes the Hercules Club tree. Beyond the tree is a boardwalk switchback. [End of message]](/common/uploads/place/import/7ddaf0fc-a2d8-4793-a4b8-7152f952a5ac_image_350.jpg)
