    Karo, toxic to domestic animals, as above

    Hi Carol, not as far as I can determine. A single pittosporum species "Japanese Pittosporum (Australian laurel, Mock orange) | Scientific Names: Pittosporum tobira | Family: Pittosporaceae" is listed as toxic to horses on an Australian website, but no other Pitto's feature anywhere else, and one site even recommends karo as a worm cure for sheep.
