    Hello. I have taken on a forestry grazing block which has a large amount of what looks like tutu. It doesn't have black beeries but it does have long dangly flowers that are now dry, perhaps they were beeries. Can anyone tell me the risk of grazing cattle amongst this bush at this time of year. Thanks, Ben

    Hi Ben. All parts of tutu are toxic to cattle at any time. They are most likely to eat tutu if there is a shortage of pasture, which is quite likely at this time of year. There are several websites that provide information, try: http://www.totallyvets.co.nz/tutu.html
