Bear grass

 

Our city plans to plant bear grass (Xerophyllum tenax) along our property line. Is it poisonous to animals?

Dear John,

Bear grass is part of the Liliaceae family and is not considered toxic to pets, but even non-toxic plants still have the potential to cause mild stomach upset. Therefore, we suggest steering your pets away from munching freely on bear grass.
