I have a 4 LARGE sulcatas and im going to expand the yard for them.
My question is that I have 3 LARGE Crape myrtles in the yard that would be a great source of shade for them but I cant find anywhere online that states wether these are safe or toxic for sulcatas. The Crape Myrtle has long limbs that hang clear to the ground with pink flowers and I know my sulcatas will try to eat anything colorful like that.
So is this tree/plant safe or do I need to rip them out? Thanks!
I have one of those in my backyard. My biggest sulcata is about 63 pounds, and eats the leaves and flowers every once in a while, and they're not toxic. They probably won't to be able to reach them unless they are really low to the ground, but still, nothing to worry about.
Yeah, I agree with bonomoc. I've grown myrtles for years, and though my beasts regularly consume the fallen flowers and will nip at the leaves given the opportunity, I've noticed nothing distressing.
