Cherry Laurels - prunus laurocerasus

Did you know that those green shoots that appear on older potatoes are poisonous? In large quantities that is! Take this as an example - many of our garden plants have poisonous qualities, if eaten, but most of us don't go around nibbling bamboo.

Hopefully I'm not being rude, but chill out You're more likely to die from poisonous fumes from road traffic than what's growing in your garden.

 

I've heard that Morning Glory seeds are poisonous but they still were eaten by adventurous people in the 60's for their hallucinogenic properties. Maybe another thing for our Nanny Government to considered banning ???:ywn:

 

Thanks for that Alana, very interesting.:thumb:

Now Where did I put that seed catalogue.:D

 

We have young Laurels planted last Spring.. in my Garden and we have since had a little Puppy .. who is insisting on chewing and eating quite a lot of things he is finding ..out there.. after reading this thread I am thinking that we should uproot our Laurels .. and replace with something else.. :doggysmooze:
