Just shows you how misleading the internet can be... I typed in "Berberis darwinii poisonous" on Google and this came up as one in the list of answers:
Evergreen Shrubs by Size
davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/2466/
*All parts of plant are
poisonous if ingested. Medium (less than 10 feet). Darwin Barberry (
Berberis darwinii) grows to 6 to 8 feet and needs 4 to 6 feet to spread.
When I went to the site I found that the sentence about being poisonous was the last sentence in the listing for the plant before the berberis.
However I do sometimes wonder if some people take the same attitude to berries that you take to insects - thinking that are all poisonous like you believe all buzzy things bite or sting... Possibly not a bad thing where children are concerned.

Yes looked at all the technical data - but I had to come to you for the location - you see some fine things from your bedroom window...
