If the birds eat them, they aren't poisonous, unless you see a lot of dead
birds.

Now, after 4 years living at our current home, we've only just noticed
that a tree in our back garden 'may' be a cherry tree! The tree now
stands at around 10ft and in the spring had white flowers. Now it has
what appears to be cherries (I daren't try one, just in case!), mostly
yellowy green at the moment but a few at the top are a bright red. For
the size of the tree, the cherries (if they are) are quite scarce in
relation to the leaves.

I'd be interested to know if this is a pleasant suprise, or alternatively
are we going to have to be extra vigilant with our young son if it's
actually some kind of poisonous berry?

I'll try to get a picture or two uploaded somewhere to see if anyone can
help me out, but based on what I've wrote so far, any ideas?

TIA
