Are (green) pine needles poisonous if eaten in large quantities? I cannot find it anywhere, so I hope they will be ok?
My neighbour (I rent his field) has this morning cut down one of the pine trees on the perimeter of the field, it fell into the field and it's now stripped is bare! (He takes the tops for Xmas trees....). The branches are out of reach for the sheep normally, so they have never eaten them.... but they must be tasty! These are pedigree Shetlands in the field... so far they seem fine, do I need to worry about this?
This was a normal pine tree, not Lleylandii or similar.
