Fruit toxicity issue<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>A concern was brought my attention
respecting the use of this non-native tree as a street tree. Attached is
the link associated with the information presented.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>1) Is this tree currently part of your inventory and if
so, have you had to address the issue and how?</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>2) If using this species, have any of the Nurseries you
purchased from advised you of this fruit toxicity issue?</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Our situation is we have recently
introduced this tree in our pallette of street trees and now need some further
research on how to reasonably address the issue. </FONT> <BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>Please advise on this matter as it may have implications
beyond the purchase and planting of the trees, as it could affect Growers
and Nurseries.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Regards,<BR>Peter
