As far as I know, the only members of the woody Rosacaea in the UK
with poisonous fruit are various 'laurels', and all are evergreen.
Can anyone think of a counter-example, even including all native,
naturalised or garden species?

It isn't a good idea to overeat on the kernels or pips of several
species, and some contain really quite a lot of cyanide, but I am
thinking of the flesh.
