Best Answer

No, Carolina buckthorn berries cannot be eaten.

Specifically, the Carolina buckthorn (Rhamnus caroliniana) contain glycosides. The toxins do not bother Songbirds such as brown thrashers, catbirds and mockingbirds. But they may cause low-level diarrhea, nausea and vomiting if ingested by humans. Their role on the dining table therefore needs to be restricted to decorative as part of festive and holiday wreaths.

Do bears eat trees?

Bears do eat berries. That is how they stock up for the winter. Bears often sit down in berry thickets and eat berries for hours. They eat wild berries such as raspberries, blueberries, mulberries, and boysenberries.Yes, of course! Bears are omnivorous, which means they eat both plants and meat. A bear's diet may consist of honey, insects, fish, wild nuts (bears sometimes eat trail mix), deer and elk, small mammals, and wild fruits and veggies. (they eat apples and carrots) They even will eat cheese. They'll eat almost anything in front of them, especially if you have some in your pocket or backpack:-).
