Amelanchier × grandiflora 'Robin Hill'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists amelanchier × grandiflora 'robin hill' as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Amelanchier is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so its pet status is unconfirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. The ripe berries are edible to people and wildlife, but leaves, stems and seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides that can release cyanide, so large quantities of foliage or crushed seed could cause gastrointestinal upset.
