Another question please.
I know that Red Maples leaves can be very toxic in the fall after dropping from the tree. My question is, are the Crimson King Maples in that family? I know a lot of people call them "Red Maples" simply because the leaves are a dark reddish brown all year. But I don't "think" they are the type of "red maple" whose leaves get toxic. "Red Maples" actually have green leaves, but have red stems & flowers. So, is it safe to assume the Crimson King Maple would be safe around horses?
