Edible berry?
Hello
There have been many posts about edible berries but I could not find anything that looks like the one I'm after so please forgive a newbie if this has been handled before. I have a 6m tree/shrub in my garden with black berries, end of June / beginning of July in central London, England. The tree attracts wood pigeons. I tasted the berries and they are sweet with low acidity and a slight almond aftertaste (cyanide??? heeelp!!!). I made a jam and then decided to post on this forum before I went ahead and poisoned my whole family :-) My guess is that it is some sort of whitebeam (the leaves are slightly whiter below than above.) I am including a few photos. If anyone out there has sufficient expertise to give me a definite identification I would be ever so grateful. Jossy |

I forgot to add that the tree has white flowers in the spring that turn to a light pink.
