Viburnum tinus
« on: February 23, 2016, 07:12:22 am »
Hope this is the right section to post in.

Does anyone know if this is poisonous to livestock. We have a small hedge of this is a section where I may want to keep sheep and geese. Wikipedia says it is high in tannins and the berries are poisonous to us, but I can't see anything about livestock.

Any thoughts?

Is that to humans or livestock. Deating just cutting it down but it makes a wind break and soaks up some water.
