[Dry Rot]

Hazel wands root easily. This is why I have a hedge where I planted the peas, using hazel and laburnum rods for the peas to grow up. Laburnum roots very easily, but dont plant it in a hedge as it is the worst thing for blunting a blade. Whole hedges of it here, apparently from when someone went round selling fencing stakes.

Aren't Laburnum seeds poisonous?

Aren't Laburnum seeds poisonous?

Laburnum is a member of the Pea family and animals eat it readily. ALL parts of the tree are poisonous, yet almost no fields around here are without at least some Laburnum in their hedging!!! @Old Boar , the fencing stake guy must've had a big area to sell to!
