[AlpacaTalk] Cherry trees: how toxic?

My husband and I are new alpaca owners who live in a very wooded area. We have cleared a number of what are referred to locally as "swamp cherry" trees from the area surrounding the paddocks, but are concerned about some of these trees over the property line (about 75 feet) on our neighbor's land. Our concern is not for branches falling, but the occasional leaf that may stray into the pen area. How bad would it be for an alpaca to injest a leaf or two? And what about dried leaves in the fall? Are they still toxic? Thanks in advance for any advice for us newbies!
