Rhododendrons

[Genipher]

Does anyone know which part of the rhododendron is poisonous to goats? Is it just the leaves? Are the branches poisonous, too?

I would like to get a milk goat and have started the process of trimming all the leaves and flowers off the rhodies (landlord won't let us remove them completely) but if the branches are bad for them too, then there's no point in my continuing to trim...

all parts considered poisonous... save yourself the time.. stop trimming!

hehe. Stopped trimming today. I think we'll put a fence up instead.
