I help out at the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre near Rojales. Due to the difficult times we are all experiencing and recent bad weather, they have suffered damage to the fields and surrounding area. We are trying to create a pretty entrance for when restrictions are finally lifted and we can open to the public again. If anyone has any unwanted plants or maybe you need to make space in your garden for furniture etc we would be very grateful if you could think of us before disposing of them. I know this would be appreciated so much. If you would like to see the amazing work the centre does please go to the website easyhorsecare.net

Many thanks

Elle

Hi Elle,

We have a small Nispero tree that I had planned to remove, it's in fruit at the moment, I'm not a gardener so not sure if it would survive. But if your interested your more than welcome to it.

Hi Raquel

Thank you for your kind offer, I’ll do some research as I would hate to remove the tree if it is unlikely to survive. Will get back to you asap.

Many thanks

Morning Raquel

I had a look online last night and unfortunately it is not advisable to plant your tree near horses as the fruit has a toxic effect on their digestive system if they are tempted to have a nibble. Some of the ponies are able to wander so I’m afraid it’s a no go. Thank you so much for the offer though.

Do you know, I was outside just now, and I suddenly thought about if the fruit might be a problem - I should've checked before messaging yesterday - sorry.

Good luck, with your search.
