We just picked up the tortoise and brought him home. The people who were watching him for us have us a list of toxic plants known to humans and animals in all the stuff. One of them is nectarine trees and apple trees and his own is built underneath both. It also said that the pits lf the nectarine and the seeds of the apples are fatal. I can't find anything else about sulcatas and these plants so I was wondering if anyone had any information on these plants, I'd like to let him out of his shed. Thank you!

Ah...his home*

I have read the same stuff about toxicity. However, I know multiple tortoises of multiple species that live under apple and or nectarine trees, and it doesn't seem to bother them at all. I would still prevent them from eating it as much as possible, but I really don't think it will hurt them in small amounts.
