norway maple

[Marilyn]

are norway maples poisonous to horses? we have a gorgeous deep purple leafed one in the field that I have now fenced off...does anyone know? It might not be a Norway maple...perhaps a crimson king...but i think they are they same

ok...i'm really struggling with this, there seem to be a whole host of poisonous trees in addition to plants that horses shouldn't eat...I know a good number but this damn tree is really worrying me...any ideas at alll

Hi,

I don't know what a Norway maple looks like, there are a variety of maples. However, I DO know that red maples are poisonous (because i have acres of the dratted things)
