Peach Tree (Prunus spp.) Poisonous to Horses Toxic parts and chemical: cyanide in leaves, stems and seeds and more toxic if wilted Symptoms of Poisoning: labored breathing, lack of coordination, brick red gums, trembling, agitation, labored breathing and death. Symptoms and death occur in a very short time. Cyanide is not actually present in these trees until two different components in the leaves come together, such as when a leaf is damaged, wilted or broken off, which causes the two components to meet and cyanide is produced by chemical reaction. |
