Well apparently when cherry trees are stressed (losing limbs, drought) they release some type of toxin into their foliage that will kill animals that eat it. Not sure if it goes into the fruit though. We have some pretty high winds here, so I don't want to walk out to downed limbs and a bunch of dead chicken. Some people say the leaves are only toxic if they are wilted, but after reading a story about a lady that lost her cow and calf about ten minutes after cutting down the tree, it's kinda freaking me out. Thanks for the welcome!
