Title: Sorbus leaves safe or not?
Post by: Penninehillbilly on June 21, 2016, 02:56:10 pm

Hi
the field I'm planning on putting goats in has a Sorbus (mountain Ash) on the outside of the fence, but is dropping its leaves into the field. (obviously not a happy tree)
I think I've read they are poisonous, or would that just be the berries?
Its bad enough hunting for foxglove seedlings without having to pick all these up as well. :(
Any thoughts please?
