In South Louisiana I have a Chinaberry
fence row (thank you, wild birds sitting on
fence & pooping out seeds). As far as toxicity goes, despite all the warnings about it being poisonous to animals, I have raised goats here for 30+ years with no issues. The goats eat green chinaberry leaves but that's about it.
I read some references to chinaberries in this
thread: is there any use for chinaberry seed balls? as a
soap or anything else?
We actually call them sh**wood
trees, attack them with chainsaws from time to time and cannot get rid of them.
Laundry soap would be good...
