What berries/tree is this?

[Glenss]

This tree is in my daughters school playground, it has these berries and they are all over the floor. it also blossoms dark pink spring/summer time.
surely they cant be deadly poisonous in a primary school?

Is there a picture to come?

Sounds like a cherry tree

Kids at primary school should know not to eat random things unless they have a learning disability though.

There are poisonous plants and berries all over the place. If your daughter is in primary School, I would hope she’s passed the age of stuffing everything in her mouth.

Use google lens it will give you a name

I'm sure most people would think it reasonable to avoid planting poisonous plants on school grounds. What about toddler brothers and sisters? What about intrepid little explorers who read a story the previous day about surviving on a desert island?

Why would you necessarily think it's deadly poisonous? It all certainly isn't.

There's still no photo but pink blossom in Spring and berries sounds potentially like it's a cherry tree.

Kids do need to learn not to put things in their mouths as no one should eat random, unknown plants or berries in any situation.

there are not many deadly poisonous trees that have "berries" and pink blossom in the UK (In fact I'd probably stick my neck out and say there are none) and I think you can safely assume that someone would have removed it if it was poisonous.

I'm going to guess possibly a crab apple or a common hawthorn, but without a photo no one can tell you for sure.

No, schools do NOT plant deadly poisonous trees in school playgrounds. Laburnum used to be planted in parks but as the seeds can kill, they all got dug up decades ago. (It's bright yellow, btw, so you're perfectly safe that it's not that)

Crab apple? Some of them have pink flowers and very small fruit. Mine is still clinging on to the remainder of last year's mini apples. Alternatively a pink variety of hawthorn.

Waits for photo...

@Glenss is this a game?

you do know that we aren’t all telepathic right? 😅

I have yet to see a single cherry tree with the berries all over the floor. Too many thieving blackbirds around 😠

Could it be Rowan?

I'm struggling to think of any tree that's going to have berries all over the ground round it at this time of year.

Cherries aren't berries anyway. They are drupes.

Sounds like a crab apple. Mine still has its apples hanging on the branches from last year.

Of course there won't be a deadly poisonous tree in a school playground, why on earth would you think there would be?

Do you usually worry unnecessarily about things?

Anyway there aren't any trees grown in the UK with pink blossom that have poisonous fruits.

My hawthorn has haws everywhere around it because the squirrels are indiscriminate and messy eaters.

Photo and location needed. At least continent

I have no idea

The birds stripped all the berries off everything round here over the winter.

Hawthorn I expect, there are red berries all over the floor near mine, my kids wouldn't eat them and never have but I don't think they're poisonous anyway. The spikey branches can be pretty rough though!

Do you know, I sometimes get really fed up with responding to questions that people ask, and getting sod all in the way of a response from the OP.

What do they taste like?

What an annoying post! 🙄

Does your child often eat off the floor?
