This reminded me of the South American "dynamite tree" (Hura crepitans, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hura_crepitans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hura_crepitans ), which wikipedia says launches seeds from its exploding fruits at 160 mph, up to 100 ft away! A pretty menacing tree actually, its trunk covered in huge thorns and it has a poisonous sap.
