Does anyone know if they are toxic for birds?

Thanks for making these very helpful videos, Dean!

You're welcome.

Codex and Smartstax? I have no idea what they are... Might you be referring to a rumex of some kind? Curly dock is a possibility especially when in seed.

Had my first Podocarpus aril yesterday--quite good--thanks Deane!

[EatTheWeeds]

That first step wiht a new plant is always a hard one....by the way I might be in Ft. Myers next week.

They look very similar to the yew. Any chance to do a video on the yew berry?
