The Camphor Laurel (Cinnamomum camphora) was introduced to Australia in 1822 as an ornamental tree for use in gardens and public parks.
It has become a noxious weed throughout Queensland and central to northern New South Wales, where it is suited to the wet, subtropical climate.
The seeds are attractive to birds and pass intact through the digestive system, ensuring rapid distribution. Camphor laurel competes against eucalyptus trees, certain species of which are the sole food source of koalas.
However, all parts of the plant can be toxic to dogs.
The symptoms of Camphor Laurel can include:
Oral:
Nausea
Vomiting;and
Respiratory Difficulty
Touch:

Redness
