Castor Bean and Rabbits

19 years ago

Hi there. I live in an area highly populated by rabbits. I consider this to be a good thing and don't want to do anything to harm them.

I am considering planting a Castor Bean (common green) in my garden this spring. I planned to remove the toxic seeds as soon as they developed, but now I wonder if the rest of the plant is just as dangerous to rabbits? Will they eat it?

If so, can this plant be grown in a pot, out of the rabbit's reach?

Thanks for you help!
