Hiya. 
Most fruit tree branches are ok BUT where did your wood come from?? :? .....Can you be sure it has not been treated with pesticides?? :? Was the tree felled due to a fungal disease...?? :? To identify the species of the tree you could take a sample of it to a large garden centre. The 'more senior in years' staff often have a vast knowledge about tree types. But unless you can be sure the tree was chemical/disease free I would err on the side of caution. You can buy Willow toys for buns now. A small bundle of willow sticks costs about £1.99 and a small willow basket costs the same. You can open up the willow stick bundle and only give bun a couple of sticks at a time. Each bundle contains about 20 sticks so will last some time. Jane and Bunsxx

thanks for that advice. I don't know why the tree was felled-it was one of the trees at the back of my workplace so not sure why? i can contact the parks department as they may know, meantime i will keep the buns away from it until i know for sure. it definitely wasn't a fruit tree and it was amongst a bunch of other trees so i don't know if it was sort of overcrowding or felled due to a complaint from one of the neighbouring gardens!
