About BURDEKIN PLUM

The Burdekin Plum (Pleiogynium timorense) is a fruit-bearing tree native to Australia and parts of Southeast Asia. The fruit it produces resembles a large plum and may be consumed by humans after proper preparation. However, the Burdekin Plum poses potential risks to pets, particularly cats and dogs. Ingesting the unripe fruit can cause gastrointestinal upset and toxicity symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Therefore, it is advisable to keep pets away from these trees to prevent accidental ingestion of the toxic parts.
