Similarly, it is asked, are red berry bushes poisonous?
Technically, it is only the seed that is toxic: The flesh, itself of the red berry (actually classified as an "aril") is not. But any berries with toxic seeds are essentially "poisonous berries," since eating the berries means exposing yourself to the seeds.
