RE: Should I Be Offended?
Wow . . . I had no idea that avocadoes were bad for goats, but it makes sense, especially if they really developed a taste for them.
As much as I love them, if I couldn't fence the goats out of the fruit drop zone, then yeah, I'd give up my tree.
I hadn't that the thorns were used as nails, but considering what I've heard about them, that makes sense too. Gives me some ideas, too. ;-)
:) It is not just the fruit of Avocadoes - the leaves kill goats as well :(
Well, not much of an issue here, as it is too cold for them anyway.
I will be getting a Haas avocado tree in the not too distant future, but it will have to be in the greenhouse, which the goats have no access to . . . and clearly I won't be using its branches for fodder.
