I've got a weeping cherry tree. It's beautiful and doing well, but for the first time since we've lived here, (7 years), it's now got fruit on it! I assume cherries are normal on a weeping cherry tree. Did I never notice them before, or does it generally take years to become fruit bearing? And can I eat them? Thanks.

They taste like Black Heart cherries with a little aftertaste, but since the seed is so big, I think they'd be better to make a syrup out of than to sit and eat. They turn your mouth purple-black. May be great for Halloween night. (06/18/2008)

The cherry is a rather large family of trees and what I've read about their toxicity applied to all. That is: All parts of the cherry tree are poisonous except for the actual fruit. Included are the pit, leaves, wood, bark, sap and roots.
Your most trusted answer might come from the Poison Control Center.
