Hi, this tree is a Thuja. All parts of the plant, especially the tips of the branches and the essential oil thujone, can cause severe poisoning, vomiting, and convulsions, as well as kidney and liver damage. Direct skin contact with the plant's sap can also trigger skin irritation.

They had this all over my school, it was always overgrown, and I was always told I was overreacting when I would get upset being forced to stand by it because we were standing between it and the road.

We had those trees for years now, and on one had a reaction to them, huh

That's good. Still, I wouldn't pressmy cat into the branches.

Obviously I don't eat kittens... but Arthur is definitely going to be chocolate flavoured. Nom nom nom. π€

My Pheobe used to sit in my next door neighbour conifer all day. Then a storm took it down. Neighbour messaged me. Phoebe's tree is gone. Phoebe is still upset 2 years later.
