donkey proof plants

[dincur]

Hi Everyone, looking for tested donkey proof shrubs. I know Hyrandgeas mopheads etc are pretty safe with them. Some of the softer kinds would be scoffed down in a flash with them. Just wondered if anyone has any tried and tested experience. Cheers Din

...including brambles !
I've no experience, but googled for you, because I was interested too:

"Donkeys like the roughage that the brambles and hawthorn found in hedges will provide. Donkeys ... can eat their way through a hedge before you realise what has happened, therefore you should always have additional perimeter fencing. Hedging provides natural shelter and is a natural windbreak.
Remember that hedges can harbour poisonous plants that need to be removed such as: yew, laurel, rhododendron, foxglove, oak, bracken, ragwort and deadly
nightshade" etc http://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk...DonkeyCare.pdf

Bingley, sometimes I'm the one looking for the jealous smiley. Na they are good boys. Only when they're not eating everything in sight!
