"After few years of intensive feeding by horses it was found that the last were suffering from hair loss, attributing this to poisonous substances contained in Leucaena foliage and affecting horses´ health, in general. After this incidence, its cultivation was discontinued. Nowadays L. leucocephala can be found individually in an altitude of 0 to 500m in agricultural areas, coastland, natural and planted forests, and in urban areas (across roads, pavements, parks etc)" (Vassiliou and Papadoulis 2008).
"In Cyprus, there are records that Leucaena was introduced into the island about 25 years ago as a valuable fodder plant and that this plant species was extensively cultivated in many areas, such as Limassol, Protaras (Famagusta district), Potami and Anayia (Nicosia district), and other areas in order to be given as fodder shrub to horses (Tsindides et al. 2002)" from Vassiliou andPapadoulis (2008).
