Elaeagnus - are the berries poisonous?
First post here! I have a house in France where, in 2005, I planted several Elaeagnus x ebbingei to make a hedgerow. My (new) dog is now eating the berries. Does anyone know if they are poisonous?

It's had a couple more than 5 years. But we do have to cut it back hard as we wish to be able to get into the house, and it grows very fast.
