I need help with making sure this tree is safe. The tree hangs over Zvezda's habitat, it frequently drops leaves and seeds into the habitat, I always remove them, but when I'm in Stilbaai, I can't ask someone to pick up the small peppercorn sized seeds. I've only found good things about the tree, (seeds edible, leaves used as cattle feed-but it's resin can make the milk taste weird, the seeds of the tree is used to make mead, some parts contain tanin) (Karee is Afrikaans, but it comes from the Khoi which means mead) (Searsia lancea is the scientific name)
Do note that even though it is Anacardiaceae, it does not share the chemical found in poison ivy or in fire thorns.
What do you guys think?
