The cyanide level of the leaves is especially high if the leaves are wilted.

I have many  Chokecherry (P. virginiana)  on my land; I have eaten them fresh (quite bitter), made jelly and wine of them; they are not poisonous. I would call chockcherry a large bush rather than a tree. I believe the leaves and pits are poisonous though.
