                                The fruit of the hollyleaf cherry (Prunus ilicifolia) is technically edible, but its seeds are highly toxic. This native Californian evergreen produces a fruit with a sweet, thin pulp surrounding a large pit, which contains a kernel that requires extensive processing to make it safe for consumption.
