Topic: Poisonous Plants, Shrubs
Title: Shrubs not toxic to cattle in NJ
Answered by: Anne Bossart
QUESTION:I am working to rejuvenate the hedgerows on a farm in New Jersey by removing invasive plants and planting native shrubs. How do I find out which native shrubs are toxic to cattle and should not be planted in the hedgerows?
We applaud your efforts. By removing inavsive plants and planting native shrubs you are providing important (and at times scarce) habitat food and shelter for many native species of birds, insects and small mammals.
The Cornell University Department of Animal Science has a published an extensive list of plants that are poisonous to livestock. Click here for the list of plants poisonous to cattle. When you examine it closely you will see that most of them are herbaceous plants but many of them are native to your area that could get established within your hedgerow
Allium canadense (Meadow garlic)
Asclepias syriaca (Common milkweed)
Phytolacca americana (American pokeweed)
There are actually not many shrubs on the list that you would be considering but there are a few you should avoid, such as:
Aesculus parviflora (Bottlebrush buckeye) whose fruits are poisonous
Prunus serotina (Black cherry) and the other wild cherries native to your area such as pin cherry and choke cherry whose seeds and leaves are poisonous, and
Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis (Common elderberry) whose leaves, twigs, roots and unripe fruit are poisonous (but cooked elderberry fruit in jellies and pies is harmless and tasty!)
That being said, there are plenty of good plants to choose from. If you visit out Native Plant Database and perform a Combination Search, selecting New Jersey/Shrub and the sizes 3-6 ft, 6-12 ft and even 12-36ft, it will generate a large list to select from. You can also narrow it further according to specific light and soil conditions as you wish.
What you ultimately plant will be dependant on what is available in the trade and the size of your budget but here are a few of my favorites.
Amelanchier arborea (Common serviceberry) which blooms early in the spring, produces berries that birds (and people) love and has great fall color
Ceanothus herbaceus (Redroot) whose flowers and berries are great for butterflies and birds, but doesn't really color up in the fall
Cornus sericea (Redosier dogwood) whose red twigs bring color to the drab winter landscape, berries support many tupes of fowl and spreading habit will help fill in the hedgerow
Morella pensylvanica (Northern bayberry) whose waxy berries are eaten by many winter birds and used by humans for making traditional candles
Physocarpus opulifolius (Atlantic ninebark) which is tough but attractive with yellow fall colour and red fruit that the birds like, and
Rhus glabra (Smooth sumac) which many people detest because of its suckering habit (maybe just what you need?) but has awesome fall colour and fruit that is not only ornamental but beneficial and high in Vitamin C. The Chickadees enjoy mine all winter long.
And now for the bad news ... these plants won't harm your cattle, provide wildlife benefits and are ornamental ... but the deer will browse on most of them.

Freezing and thawing might not be good for the average steak, but it seems to help wood frogs each fall as they prepare to survive Alaska's winter cold.
"Alaska wood frogs spend more time freezing and thawing outside than a steak does in your freezer and the frog comes back to life in the spring in better shape than the steak," said Don Larson, University of Alaska Fairbanks graduate student and lead author on a recent paper demonstrating that freeze tolerance in Alaska wood frogs is more extreme than previously thought.
Although wood frogs are well-studied freeze-tolerant amphibians, Larson's research is believed to be the first to examine the frogs under natural conditions.
In subarctic Interior Alaska, wood frogs overwinter in the ground covered by duff and leaf litter, creating a hibernacula, where temperatures can remain below freezing for more than six months with minimum temperatures of minus four (minus 20 Celsius).
Tracking wood frogs to their natural hibernacula, and using a fenced hibernacula in the Biological Reserve north of the UAF campus, Larson and co-author Brian Barnes, director of the UAF Institute of Arctic Biology and an expert in cold-climate physiology, wanted to know how cold and how long Alaska's wood frogs could survive in their natural habitat.
"Imagine what happens when you suck on a freeze pop," said Larson. "After you've sucked out all the sweet stuff, you're left with just ice. That's what happens to cells when they freeze. As ice formation pulls the water out of cells, the cells desiccate or dry out and eventually die."
Frogs prevent this freeze-pop effect by packing their cells with glucose (a kind of sugar) that reduces drying and stabilizes cells, a process scientists call cryoprotection.
"Concentrating sugar inside the cell helps balance the concentration of salts outside the cell that occurs as ice forms," said Barnes. "Less water leaves the cell than if sugar was not present and sugar and other cryoprotectants are thought to "hold" water inside the cell."
The curious thing Larson discovered is that when wood frogs are outside in their natural environment they accumulate much higher concentrations of glucose in their tissues than do frogs frozen in the lab.
Glucose concentrations in the outside frogs were 13-fold higher in muscle tissue, 10-fold higher in heart tissue and 3.3-fold higher in liver tissue compared to lab-frozen frogs, as described in their paper published in the Journal of Experimental Biology.
This extra protection enabled frogs to survive colder temperatures for a longer time than scientists previously thought, but Larson and Barnes wondered how they accumulated so much glucose?
Larson thinks the process that creates freezer burn on a frozen steak gives frogs the ability to survive being frozen at minimum temperatures below zero (minus 18 Celsius) for up to 218 days with 100 percent survival.
Frogs collected from sites in the Eastern U.S. and Canada have previously been shown to only survive being frozen for a few weeks and to no lower than about 19 degrees (minus 7.2 Celsius).
"In the field in early Autumn it's freezing during the night, thawing slightly during the day, and these repeated freezing episodes stimulate the frogs to release more and more glucose," Larson said. "It's not warm enough for long enough for the frog to reclaim much of that glucose and over time it accumulates giving the frog more protection against cell damage."
Lab-frozen frogs are held at a constant temperature and without the freeze-thaw cycles Larson observed in the wild and so the frogs made glucose only when they initially froze and that was that.
"Whether the extremes in freezing tolerance in Alaska frogs as compared to more southern populations are due to patterns of temperature change during freezing or are due to genetic differences, and thereby represent evolutionary change, awaits further study," said Barnes.
The feats of freezing frogs are more than just a curiosity and may one day have application in the science of human organ transplantation.
"If science can figure out how to freeze human organs without damage it would allow more time to reach people in need of organs," said Larson.
This research was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Rules sought for conflicts over wolves
Northeast Washington ranchers have begun moving their cattle to remote Forest Service meadows, where many of the herds will spend the summer grazing in territory occupied by the state's growing wolf population.
With a high potential for conflicts, eight environmental groups have petitioned state officials to create rules that would place limits on killing wolves that attack livestock.
They acknowledge that wolves that habitually prey on livestock will need to be killed, but the groups want such actions to take place only after ranchers have exhausted nonlethal measures to protect their animals, and only after four confirmed wolf attacks resulting in livestock deaths.
In 2012, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife made the controversial decision to eliminate the Wedge pack, after repeated wolf attacks were documented at a Stevens County cattle operation. Seven wolves were killed.
"We think that nonlethal actions need to be the focus," said Mike Petersen, executive director of the Lands Council in Spokane, one of the groups that petitioned the agency.
The use of range riders, fencing with plastic flags and quick carcass removal have been successful in reducing wolf attacks on livestock in other regions and should be widely adopted in Washington, Petersen said.
The state "needs to move along quicker before more cows get attacked and wolves get shot because of that," he said.
The groups filed a similar petition last year with Department of Fish and Wildlife but withdrew it after the agency agreed to create rules. With no rules in place for the 2014 grazing season, they re-filed the petition.
Dave Ware, Fish and Wildlife's game division manager, said the timing of the petition surprised him. The agency has been working on draft rules in discussion with the state's wolf advisory group, which includes environmental groups and ranchers.
The draft rules were about to be released for public comment, though they are less stringent than what the environmental groups want, Ware said. The petition's filing triggers a 60-day period for the agency to respond. If the petition is denied, the groups said they will appeal to Gov. Jay Inslee for a decision.
Other groups signing the petition were the Kettle Range Conservation Group, Center for Biological Diversity, the Sierra Club's state chapter, Cascadia Wildlands, Western Environmental Law Center, Wildlands Network and Gifford Pinchot Task Force.
Washington's wolf management plan lays out four criteria for killing wolves that prey on livestock. The wolves must be linked to repeated, confirmed attacks on livestock; nonlethal measures failed to stop the attacks; department officials determined that attacks were likely to continue; and the livestock owner didn't intentionally lure the wolves.
Washington has at least 53 wolves in 13 packs, according to state estimates. Last year, the death of one calf was confirmed as a wolf kill in Washington. Three dogs were injured by wolves.
The state has hired a wildlife conflict specialist to work with northeast Washington ranchers. About 20 ranchers statewide have received state grants for cost-share programs for proactive measures to reduce wolf-livestock conflicts, Ware said.

Distressed by the sight of Paul Gascoigne's renewed battle against alcoholism, England players offered to help the troubled star's recovery as he receives treatment in the United States.
Gascoigne's friends organised for him to fly to a treatment center in Phoenix, Arizona after seeing images published of him in ill health at a charity function last week, sobbing and slurring his words while addressing the crowd.
The rare public appearance by the 45-year-old former midfielder - known as "Gazza" - confirmed fears that he is struggling to overcome the alcohol and mental-health problems that have plagued him since quitting the game in 2005.
Now the England team believes that Gascoigne, whose skillful displays at the 1990 World Cup turned him into an international celebrity, could benefit from assistance from the current generation of players.
"We've made it clear we are able to help if needed," captain Steven Gerrard said ahead of England's match against Brazil tomorrow.
English Football Association officials are conveying Gerrard's offer to Gascoigne's management team.
"I'm very happy the players have made the gesture because I'm sure to Paul having the love of the current England team could be a factor in aiding his recovery," England coach Roy Hodgson said.
"Anything I can do, we are there to do, but we need to be told what is required of us ... it's a question of Paul now getting the treatment he needs and kind words won't be enough.
And it is "some quite severe action" that Hodgson believes the former Tottenham and Lazio player requires.
"Like everyone else who marveled at his talent, it is sad to hear he is not in a good way and having to take these drastic measures to try and get his life back into some sort of order," Hodgson. "All I can hope is that he recovers well and the friends he has out there rally together and give him the help he needs.
"Sometimes being a friend might have to mean telling people things they don't want to hear and telling them not to do things they want to do. Hopefully he will come out the other side a fitter and stronger person."
Gascoigne's trip to the treatment center was organised by former cricketer Ronnie Irani.
"I called British Airways and explained the situation, that we had to get him out to Phoenix to get him some help," said Irani, who is now a presenter on TalkSport radio. "He needs it, and if not, who knows what's going to happen?"
Gascoigne's management company announced yesterday that he has "complex issues that are currently been dealt with by professionals."
Agent Terry Baker had warned that Gascoigne's "life is always in danger because he is an alcoholic."
Gascoigne scored 10 goals in 57 matches for England, helping the team reach the semifinals at the 1990 World Cup and European Championship in 1996.

Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society and a source of chemical information, has launched a new, free, web-based resource called Common Chemistry. This resource is helpful to non-chemists and others who might know either a chemical name or a CAS Registry Number of a common everyday chemical and want to pair both pieces of information. Common Chemistry contains approximately 7,800 chemicals of widespread and general interest, as well as all 118 elements from the periodic table. Common Chemistry provides access to information on chemicals of general interest. The full CAS REGISTRYSM database contains more than 46 million organic and inorganic substances.

BJP wins bypoll in two wards in Delhi
New Delhi: BJP Tuesday won the bypoll in two wards in North and East Delhi Municipal Corporation.
In Nangloi East (ward no 43), Renu Shokeen of BJP wrested the seat from Congress winning by a margin of 4758 votes. While she polled 15,887 votes, her closest rival Ramesh Devi of Congress secured 11,129 votes.
In Yamuna Vihar (ward no 256), the BJP held on to its seat with a victory margin of 4,317 votes with Asha Tayal of the ruling party getting 13,123 votes as against 8,806 of Sushila Agrawal of Congress.
The seat in Nangloi East was earlier held by Congress councillor Satyam Yadav, who died late last year. The death of BJP councillor Vijay Bahal in February this year led to bye-elections in Yamuna Vihar ward.
The voting for the two wards had taken place on May 5 with over 50 per cent voters coming out to exercise their franchise and the results were announced today.
While four candidates, including those from BJP and Congress were in the fray for Nangloi seat, eight candidates had filed their nomination for Yamuna Vihar.
Currently, BJP holds a clear majority in both the North and East Corporation houses but these bypolls are being considered significant due to the state assembly elections due to be held in November this year.

It's easy to assume that your app will run on a fast and reliable network. The reality for your app's users, though, is often a slow, unreliable network with spotty coverage.

BURLINGTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/20/14 -- Acquia, where great digital experiences begin, today announced Acquia Lift, an optimization platform that enables marketing teams to transform the digital experiences they offer customers into engines for revenue generation. Leveraging unique machine learning algorithms that understand user behavior, the personalization platform for Drupal-based sites gives organizations the agility and scalability to create a deeper, more relevant experience for site visitors. This, in turn, enables the marketing team to deliver the right content to the right visitors through the right channel to drive greater conversions and revenue.
Acquia Lift provides powerful optimization tools to get a campaign up and running with a single click, and tests content not only against consumer profiles but also specific consumer attributes. Based on these insights, Acquia Lift then automates the delivery of personalized content to each site visitor, inspiring action such as a new registration, a purchase, or improved engagement on a new mobile site.
"Until now, it's been tough for the millions of Drupal sites to easily incorporate robust personalization capabilities," said Tom Erickson, CEO, Acquia. "Acquia Lift equips the digital marketer with powerful website testing and content targeting tools to optimize content for each visitor. As content, community and commerce converge, digital experiences are becoming more complex. Acquia Lift ensures that each interaction delivers a relevant, high-quality experience customers expect."
Acquia Lift ensures customers' expectations are met during every site visit by giving marketers access to testing, targeting, and analytics capabilities that simplify the delivery of hyper-personal digital experiences. This, in turn, enables the marketing team to know their customers and deliver more of the content types that convert.
"Our artists have extremely dedicated fans who always ask more information. But representing hundreds of musical artists, each with a unique fanbase, prohibits us from manually mining this data to uncover and leverage actionable insights as it relates to user preferences," said Lee Hammond, VP Digital, Interscope Records. "With Acquia Lift's optimization and content targeting capabilities, we can improve our ability to deliver the content these fans look for in a way that makes the most sense for them, while also enabling us to drive greater conversions."
"To succeed in today's digital environment, firms must deliver smarter, more customer-centric interactions that feel like they were tailored for each user and his or her specific set of circumstances. It must be more dynamic and more predictive than current personalization techniques," stated the January 2014 Forrester Research, Inc. report: "Advance to Next-Generation Personalization."
Additional features and benefits of Acquia Lift include:
- Easy implementation -- Designed to enable anyone within an organization to get testing and targeting functionalities up and running fast on their Drupal-based site.
- Intuitive -- Enables organizations to easily create, iterate, and optimize content within the same interface, rather than toggling between web content management (WCM) and targeting systems.
- A/B and Multivariate Testing -- Includes a variety of different testing and targeting options at the site owner's disposal natively within the Drupal interface. These options enable the site owner to do both simple A/B and more complex multi-variate testing and then report back the results.
- Interoperable -- With Acquia Lift, there's no need to focus on a single stack. The solution integrates easily with third party technologies, letting organizations have the freedom to leverage existing digital marketing tools, and explore emerging high value tools they may consider using in the future.
- Measurable -- Acquia Lift enables developers to define custom conversion goals for their sites and provides an easy-to-implement Drupal-specific personalization tool that automates the delivery of relevant experiences. Digital marketing teams can also create and track conversion goals, and gain real-time, granular insight into website conversion performance against KPIs.
- Auditable record of all interactions -- Enables the marketing team to gain insights from explicit information within the site, to anonymous user actions, to third party applications.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

ANDREW PIERCE: The big money's behind Clarke for Chancellor
The long-awaited appearance in the campaign of Ken Clarke, the shadow business secretary and the Tories biggest hitter, will do wonders for the party's battered morale.
The absence of the beer-swilling, cigar-smoking, former Chancellor was so mystifying that some suspected he was holed up in the same bed-and-breakfast as the even more gaffe-prone Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary.
But now I hear of a clever plan mooted by some of the party's biggest financial backers — not Lord Ashcroft — to give Clarke a much bigger role if, and it's a big if, the Tories form the next government.
Overshadowed: George Osborne (left) listens as Ken Clarke shows up at last
The 'Dunkirk Strategy' is for Clarke to make a dramatic return as Chancellor in a hung parliament. The plan has been floated, if you pardon the pun, past David Cameron.
It's been compared with Dunkirk because Clarke, 69 (he knows he is too old to lead the party) will be able to take the tough decisions to rescue the economy unencumbered by ambition.
'Clarke would be the most unpopular politician in Britain but would go down in the records as the only Chancellor with the courage and clout to do the right thing,' explained my man with the money belt.
'Like Dunkirk, it would be a brave last stand which, in the end, would mark the turning point in the fightback.'
It would be initially popular, too, as Clarke is streets ahead of Vince Cable, the Lib Dem, in surveys of who should be Chancellor. Osborne, aged 38, who looks and sounds 28, doesn't even make it into double figures.
My mole adds: 'It would restore confidence and be the right thing for George, who has his whole career ahead of him.' Only if Cameron becomes Prime Minister, of course.
- A sign of things to come? 'Yes, I did work with Nick Clegg's father. He was very successful and a Tory.' So said Ken Clarke on Sky News.
Beeb can't stop Bullingdon-bashing
The leftie Royal Court Theatre in London is naturally doing its best to sabotage the Conservatives' election campaign.
It's latest production, Posh, tells the story of a group of 'Oxford young bloods intent on restoring their right to rule inspired by the Bullingdon Club.'
Cameron, Osborne and Boris Johnson were all members in their trademark £1,200 tail-coats.
Dig at Tories: Posh, a theatre drama about you guessed it, featured on BBC News
So no surprise that the BBC News should devote a full five minutes to the play with its barely-concealed class war attack on the Tories.
The BBC says that the author 'has stated that the characters are specifically not based on David Cameron, George Osborne or Boris Johnson, but "the parallels are there for people to see"'.
To everyone except the suits in charge of balance at the BBC, it seems.
- Labour made sure paragons of virtue Peter Mandelson, Alastair Campbell and Charlie Whelan descended on the Westminster media centre set up for journalists to watch the first TV debate.
Quote of the day
Gordon Brown tells car workers in Oxford that he will continue
'fighting with Peter Mandelson, Ed Miliband and everybody else'.
Nothing new there.
So it was no surprise when a string of untruths appeared about the Tories within minutes. Whelan tweeted that David Cameron's executive jet was delayed by ash — in fact, the Tory leader had been in Manchester all day, travelling by road.
Campbell then said Tory aides in the media centre were 'looking glum' during the debate.
They were in a different room from Campbell and his companions.
There was even one report that a Tory aide had unbuttoned her blouse to distract journalists during the debate.
Not only were they in a different room but all three women were wearing dresses.
Tory spin doctors are wondering what the gruesome trio will make up about them after tonight's debate.
- Liam Fox, the shadow defence secretary, will miss out on at least one guaranteed vote on May 6.
Quip of the day
Alex Salmond, the SNP Scottish First Minister, on Sky News: 'We are sending a ferry to pick up Scots in Bergen, Norway.' Interviewer Kay Burley: 'Are you only allowing Scots on the ferry?' Salmond: ' English people as well, as a gesture of friendship.'
The volcanic ash fiasco has left his wife stranded overseas.
Fox wants to become the first MP for the new constituency of North Somerset after his previous constituency of Woodspring, which he has held since 1992, was abolished.
But the flight chaos has left his wife Jesme, a fellow doctor, stuck in Hong Kong and unable to secure a plane home until May 11.
No wonder Fox criticised the Government for being too 'slow to react' to the crisis.
- Do you think the reason Nick Clegg couldn't bring himself to say he voted Liberal in 1987, the first election he was eligible to vote in, was because he was a member of Cambridge University Tories?
Porker of the day
'I can tell you that no conversations have taken place at Conservative HQ about the consequences of a hung parliament' — George Osborne, the shadow chancellor.
Membership records for 1986-87 cite an 'N Clegg' of Robinson College, Cambridge as a member.
At the time, the Lib Dem leader was the only person of that name at Robinson.
Clegg maintains he has 'no recollection whatsoever' of being a member.
The yolk's on Dave
It was bad enough that Cameron was spattered with an egg on his right shoulder yesterday. But what made it worse — it was a ' hoodie' who hurled it during a visit to a Cornwall college.
True, Cameron did not respond like John Prescott, the former Labour deputy leader, who punched his egghurling tormentor during the 2001 election.
But it revived uncomfortable memories of Cameron's 'hug-a-hoodie' speech calling for more understanding of young criminals.
The incident came 24 hours after Cameron was accosted by a reporter dressed as a chicken representing a tabloid newspaper.
Cameron said: 'Now I know which came first — the chicken, not the egg.'
