This reassures me that a dog eating the berries isn't going to cause harm. Puppies often move out the teething phase where they eat and chew just about anything. Check out my post on poisonous plants for hints on training your dog and a list of plants you might worry about more.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-4503447695958007492021-06-17T09:13:14.737-07:002021-06-17T09:13:14.737-07:00You are assuming that every service berry sprung i...You are assuming that every service berry sprung into the world full grown. We have 3 that were just planted this spring and they are quite small and low to the ground. Our new puppy has become obsessed with the berries and I am trying to find information on whether or not they are safe.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551272220078183452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-87991152072894009132021-03-26T12:59:53.331-07:002021-03-26T12:59:53.331-07:00I read it’s prone to a lot of diseases.

In my experience, the fruits are too high in the tree for the dogs to reach. The birds pick the trees clean long before the berries are ripe enough to fall to the ground.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-22555967931227989082019-01-24T01:08:07.271-08:002019-01-24T01:08:07.271-08:00Does anyone know if these berries are safe around ...Does anyone know if these berries are safe around dogs please?

Then you let me know its Amalanchier. I love this tree, we planted two multi stem ones and in April they were smothered in white flowers. Our one is Amalanchier Lamarckii. Berries are forming and I know the birds love them but I dont think they are edible for us humans.

(I live in Atlanta, GA where it is HOT! in the summer.) I love this tree so much that I bought another one two years ago. I think I'll buy a third one this fall. Thanks for the recipe. I can't wait to try it!klawdyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518937112298256210noreply@blogger.com
