Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me some information on my very large red castor bean tree? It is a gorgeous tree that I really like. However, I have LOTS of seedlings everywhere, and I just brought home a new puppy. I am very worried about her eating any leaves, seeds, etc. from the tree or any of the seedlings. I have pulled up all of the seedlings, and started to cut off any branches with seed pods. But there are so many, and I don't know if the effort is in vain or not.
Of course, my puppy (Sophie) is more important to me than the tree, and if I have to, I would certainly remove the tree. But I thought I would see if anyone might be able to offer any other information.
Thanks very much!

Re: My new puppy and castor bean trees

It seems they are quite toxic so it's probably a good idea to remove the tree altogether.
