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?

I've eaten a lot without coming to any harm. They are highly

In fact I planted mine because I wanted the berries to eat but it won't
flower...

Give it five years.

It likes to think things over a bit.
