Editor's Note

Some resources list all parts of Podophyllum, especially the leaves, roots, and unripe fruit, as highly toxic if ingested. The toxic principal is podophyllin. Symptoms include salivation, vomiting, diarrhea, excitement, headache, fever, coma.

Ripe (yellow and soft) fruit is edible raw, but only in limited quantities.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.
