15 Trees Known For Harming and/or Killing Livestock

  • There is a lot of debate over this topic in homesteading circles.

    Anytime you are mixing nature with livestock you want to make sure that the fruit or foliage it blooms will not harm your livestock in any way. Even if the outcome isn't lethal you want to make sure that they are not, in turn, making you or your other animals sick in any way.

    It's a delicate balance.

    Landscape planning plays a large role in how the homestead it set up. Its use is not just limited to the garden. Strategic planting can be of a huge benefit and help you to get the most from your animals and your land. Yet, we would recommend using caution as not all plants that are beautiful are acceptable for the homestead.

    If you have or are planning on having livestock, horses or any other type of animal out there certain things need to be taken into consideration and trees are a major consideration.

    For example, there are trees who carry blossoms that if eaten could poison your livestock, there are root systems that are seriously unstable and well, let’s face it pollens that are seriously annoying for anyone with allergies.

    So grab a drink and let’s take a look at some of these trees to make sure you do not make the same mistakes that others did.
