In general, native plants are safe so you may want to concentrate on those. You can get a list of native plants from your local Cooperative Extension office. Or, you can plant the following, which are on the list of trees safe for horses: eastern white cedar, black spruce, tamarack (eastern larch), willows, green ash, black ash, silver maple, green ash, black ash, poplar, honey-locust (not black locust), trembling and large-tooth aspen, sycamore, beech, balsam fir, white and red spruce, northern catalpa, Osage-Orange and Norway spruce. |
