Google it and you will find a mountain of information. We have some on our farm but we put it in isolated wind breaks and around old overgrown structures and farm equipment. We were concerned with the same thing so we kept it away from any area with oaks or persimmon trees and other stuff like that. Our local forestry guy recommended several kinds of berries and wild grapes that the animals love that may be a better choice, you may want to check with your local Dept. of Game and see if they have any recommendations.
