Default wild black cherry - are the cherries edible?

We make cherry jelly & jam every year. Yes all parts are poisonous except
the pulp.


I used to eat them from the tree when I lived in Norfolk, VA,
where there were many of them. The fruit is somewhat
bittersweet, but when it is fully ripe, I found it delicious.
I spit out the pits.
