It’s a fruit! Do not eat it, and don’t let any of your pets eat it. They are somewhat poisonous and can cause stomach irritation. If you want, you can just pick it off the tree and harvest the seeds to sprout them and make more Japanese holly bonsai. They aren’t poisonous to touch, so don’t worry about your skin health. Happy planting!!!! 😁
