Hi there,
Just thought someone out there might have had experience with horses and avocadoes on the same block. Basically, do horses eat the fruit, or the trees themselves?
Reason for the question, the neighbour along our western fence line runs horses, and due to poor seasons they have picked the block bare and started debarking gum trees. As they have recently built close to the fence we want to plant it up and screen them...after all you don't move onto acreage to be looking into someones backyard!:(
Yesterday we were given some self-sown avocado trees from a plantation nearby, with potential for many more, and have planted them along said boundary. Now, will the horses reach over and pick the seedling down, will they get poisoned, or will the fruit get a hiding in 7yrs time?! :?
Thanks for reading:)
