Reply to comment by Jaimzell in ELI5: Why do so many fruits have seedless varieties but the apple and cherry do not? by JanaCinnamon

3-4 of Morello(?) cherries, 7-9 of normal ones according to healthline

3-4 yew berries (which are similar looking to cherries and also have a stone in the centre) is enough to kill you if you eat the stone in the centre. They taste great but if you swallow even one of those stones you should take a trip to the hospital and I wouldn't eat too many just in case, even if you are careful about the stones the rest of the tree is also toxic so probably best not to eat too many.
