To ask is this a toxic bush?? DS ate a berry!

[awwhellno]

So it's a bush in our large communal garden, he climbed up onto the raised beds saw the berries and ate one before I could jump over the bush and reach him. He is 2. I have no idea on plants and I really really hope it's not poisonous!

Sorry to post on here but I'm panicking and I know a lot of you are good with plants.

Sorry forgot to attach images!!

I think it’s either a sloe berry or a black current.

It might be blackthorne which some folk turn into gin.

Bumping for hopefully someone better than my 30 years out of date safe berry knowledge to answer for you.

One berry at worst means an upset stomach. I don't think we have any berries more toxic than that native in the UK.

I don’t think it’s either sloe or black currant.

Looks like cherry laurel to me, if so it is poisonous.

Potentially, it looks like Inkberry holly. Id call 111 and see what they say.

Looks like inkberry. They aren’t edible - maybe call 111 for advice?

Hmm I it could be a privet. I can't quite see. If it is I would take him in pronto. I dont think they're very good for you.

Looks like an inkberry

It's not blackcurrant, looks more like sloes.

Laurel and yes I think it is poisonous.

Definitely NOT either sloe or black currant

Definitely not a blackcurrant, they have distinctive leaves.

I think it's much more likely a cherry laurel, unfortunately. Call NHS 24 ASAP.

It’s not current or sloe or blackthorn but I’m afraid I don’t know what it is but bumping for you. Perhaps call 111?

Definitely NOT blackcurrant or sloe. Sadly I don't recognise what it is.

If they ask you to go in, make sure you take a berry and leaves with you!

I don't think sloe or blackthorne either. Both those berries look more blue. It does look a bit like cherry laurel. I think I would call 111 to be safe.

Its not sloe.

There's an app you can download that will scan plants, i can't remember the name of it but i would look up "plant identification' in play store.

It will tell you if toxic etc

If you do end up going to A&E take a cutting with the leaves and berries on with you, they have a poison plant book. Harder to tell from a photo. Had the same problem when DD was 2.

Ok looked it up. Definitely cherry Laurel, definitely very toxic. Not sure what quantities but I would be going to a and e

There is an app you can download to your phone, take a photo of fruit/ leaf and it will tell you what it is, v handy.

Plant net is the one I use.

@JustCallMeGriffin

2 berries of deadly nightshade can kill a child.

Thankfully that does not look like it, so I'd phone fir advice unless you can get a positive identification.

Here

Plant identification app says cherry laurel. Poisonous.

Yes to it being it being poisonous. If in doubt take a sample and get your DS checked out.

Definitely not sloe or Blackcurrant. Looks like a young cherry laurel to me. Cherry Laurel stone/pips are poisonous and the fruit shouldn't be eaten.
