Sorry to follow up to my own post, but does anyone know if laurel berries
are poisonous? We've a mature laurel hedge which has lots of black berries
on in the autumn and our black labrador finds them quite tasty and scoffs
any wind-falls. Personally I'd have thought they were poisonous but the
dog doesn't seem to have suffered from eating them.

Yes, they are poisonous. Well, that's my understanding. As a child, the big
danger plants I was told to avoid were laburnum, laurel, deadly nightshade,
yew.
