Anyone know what type of berry this is? I’m thinking persimmon or jacoticaba. Deer or hog seemed to be on them. I hung a camera so time will tell.  |

Put a plant id app on your phone, take a picture and it tells you what it is. It's pretty accurate.

A friend found cherry laurel in Alabama and the deer were tearing it up.

Isn't cherry laurel toxic?

I just googled it and yes the main consensus, was that it is mildly toxic on most sites. One site said that it was edible by birds, small mammals and deer.
I know the one my friend found in Alabama was heavily fed upon, there were no berries that could be reached by the deer.

Not gallberry.
It's on a small tree/ large gangly sort of bush. Close to water, or at least in very wet flatwoods........??

Some animals prolly catching a little reaction from the toxins. E'ry body needs a occasional adjustment.  |

Most likely a chokeberry of some sort.

Most likely a chokeberry of some sort. I can see that possibility. |

Isn't cherry laurel toxic? Of course I tasted it…. Had white flesh and sweet like sea grapes. |

Found a couple small trees and 2 trees 20-30 ft high that are loaded and dropping them heavy. Saw lots of freshly opened pits on the ground. It’s southwest of okeechobee, mixed habitat. Wet open prairies some pine and oak hammocks. Had 3 deer feeding on them on a camera I set this morning.👍 |

Cherry laurel would have been bitter and astringent, but it sure looks like cherry laurel.
