Is Conica Jean's Dilly Spruce toxic to cats?

Picea glauca 'Jean's Dilly'

Mildly toxic to cats

This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Picea (spruce) is not individually listed on the ASPCA toxic or non-toxic plant lists, so pet-safe status is not ASPCA-confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. Sharp needles and sap can cause oral irritation, drooling and mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting) if chewed or ingested.
