Hello! We have this tree on our property that has what looks like cherries. Can you tell me if these are safe to eat? Or how I can go about finding out? Thank you for your help!

They are definitely cherries and should be safe to eat. They could be either tart or sweet cherries. You can read more about growing cherries at, https://marinmg.ucanr.edu/EDIBLES/EDIBLES_GROW_SHEETS/?uid=64&ds=996
