Hi,

Can anyone identify the type of berries from the attached photgraphs. I
need to know if the berries are poisonus or edible. The reason I ask is
that if they are poisonous then I am going to remove the bush from the
garden. Better safe than sorry.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I am not the world's best at ID, and apologize if I am in error, but
I believe it is a cotoneaster. If so, then yes, the berries are mildly
poisonous.
